The following function doesn’t work for some reason. Can someone see what the problem is?

function checkMaxLen(txt, maxLen) {
    var actualLen = txt.value.length;
    var remain = maxLen - actualLen;
    document.getElementById('remainChar').Value = remain;
}

<input type="text" id="remainChar" runat="server" value="500"/>

Whenever I try to run the function, I get this error:

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Unable to set value of the property ‘Value’: object is null or undefined

    Check the ID of the input in your final HTML. Since you have runat="server" ASP.NET is likely adding its typical container prefixes.
