phpMyAdmin error

Alright, I'm trying to create a table in phpMyAdmin named joinstaff. For some reason when I click the "Save" button after filling out all the fields a javascript window opens up and says "This is not a number!". When I click OK nothing happens and the table refuses to be entered into the database. I have no idea which field the error is referring to and tried refreshing the page, starting a new table, etc... but to no avail.

Here is a picture of the table

If anyone can tell me why this is happening and what I have to change it would be much appreciated. Thanks :D

Looks like the column named 'file' does not have a length for the varchar, change to a text field if you don't want to set the size

xisle's post was wise. I'm just thinking about the error you got.

"This is not a number!"

Yah? What? The button I just pressed, or the cup of coffee I'm holding in my left hand?

When you click OK, does ther page go away/clears out? Do check if the cursor places itself in the file-textbox (or the file-textbox for the lenght) automaticly. Perhaps it does and you missed that (?).
