Javascript in IE vs Firefox 1

[RicksAtWork]

Using event listners, I have attached a blur event to a set of text fields.

So, when I move out of any of these text boxes the blur event fires.

This calls a function called Checkvalues()

This checks the value of the current control.

If the controls data is incorrect, I want to reset the focus to this control.

I am doing this with the following code:

var errorMessage = CheckTaskValue(control);

if(errorMessage!=null)
{
alert(errorMessage);
control.focus();

}
In IE, this works fine, however in Firefox, it doesnt refocus.

What am I doing wrong?

This has been answered many times here. To save you doing a search, I'll give you the quick answer: Put the focus call in a setTimeout call with a really small delay (say, 50 msecs).

Hope this helps,
Dan
