I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong...
I have a form on a page that is validated by calling a generic validation
routine (based on the Javascript Bible code) that validates the field. If
the field is incorrect it returns false but doesn't set the focus back on
the incorrect field.
The form is held within a main body page of a FRAME, and the javascript is
held in the main HTML page for the site.
I'm lost as to why this is not working.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Extract from validate.js
var gFrame;
var gField;
// validation routines here
function validate(frame, field, method) {
gFrame = frame;
gField = eval
("window."+frame.name+".document."+field.form.name+"."+field.name);
var args = validate.arguments;
for (iLoop = 2; iLoop < args.length; iLoop++) {
if (!aDispatchLookup[args[iLoop]]()) {
// the select and focus don't seem to work with TAB!!!
gField.select();
gField.focus();
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
