Subject: [javascript] onfocus in Netscape
I am using Netscape 4.78 and am trying to do data validation using both
onfocus and onblur functions. I have narrowed at least part of my problem
to the way Netscape handles the onfocus. In the following code, when my
second field gets focus I want to do some data validation and if necessary
print the alert and continue to other processing. However, it seems that
when I clear the alert, Netscape refires the onfocus function and I end up
in a loop. Is there a way to print a message to the user from within the
getFocus function without going into a loop? (BTW, IE does not have a
problem with this code. I would really like my app to work in both IE and
Netscape.)
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Phil
