Focus in Netscape Works But Not In IE

[no1biscuit]

I have a text field that on the on click I validate the field. If the field is not correct, I alert the user and set the focus. Well in IE 5.5 and 6 it does not work. It sets the focus to the next field. In Netscape 4.0 and 4.76 it works great. What am I doing wrong. Here is a section of the code....

function Validate(broke, shot, formname)
{if (broke.value == "&quot
{alert("Please enter the broke amount!"
}
else if (broke.value < (shot/2))
{if (confirm(&quot;Only &quot; + broke.value
+ &quot;broke? Is this really correct?&quot==false)
{broke.focus();
broke.select();
}
}
else if (broke.value > shot)
{alert(&quot;You cannot break
more than you shot&quot;
broke.focus();
broke.select();
}
Response.Write &quot;<tr><td><input type=textbox size=3 value='&quot; & Broke
& &quot;' maxlength=4 name=B&quot; &
TEventrs.Fields(0) & &quot;
onChange='Validate(this,&quot; & Shot & &quot;, document.EditScores)'></td></tr>&quot;

on what click? earm.. i meant onclick on what? .. you know what i mean.. could you post a piece of form here for us to see?

focusing the next field might happen if you call that function onchange.. Victor

I am sorry. It is already on the onchange event. I bolded the onchange. This is written in asp...
Thanks again for the help.

onchange fires after change that user made

something like:

blur -> focus to the next element -> change

so, use onblur or onsubmit in your form tag Victor

Using the onblur does not allow the user to change the info in the box. I want the user to input a value. Once it is changed then I want to validate it. If it is not what I am looking for then pop up an alert and force the user to try again.
I don't want to use the onsubmit because, I want the user to know that they have made an error as soon as it concerns.

Thanks

no'p, don't think so.. i mean, it DOES allow to do that

onfocus=blur() won't allow to, but onblur=validate() would work properly.. i guess.. Victor

I will try it today.
Thanks
