Yep,

re-initializing the array when replacing the listbox selection with "" solves it.

Code:

myWordsArray = new Array();

Thanks Mack.

Any way to remove blank spaces in the listbox that are being added when there is whitespace in the textbox?

These blank spaces (which also have word counts) throw off the listbox selection. Items below a whitespace entry in the listbox don't select the correct words.

Tried different scripts to try to stop whitespace from being added to the listbox. No success after a week at it.

For example, this script did not work to solve the problem:

Code:

if (myWords.charAt(a) == ""){
   tW = myWords[a].GetSelection();
   myWords[a].SetSelection(tW.start,tW.end);
   myWords[a].ReplaceSelection("");
   }

Also tried the following script in the checkWord() function with no success:

Code:

for (g = 0;g<myWordsArray.length;g++){
tmpCode = myWordsArray[g].word.charCodeAt(g)
if  (tmpCode == 32){
tmpFound = true
}
}
