in Netscape 6, forms's field.focus() method does not work. <input type="text" name="field1" onBlur="myHandler(this);> function myHandler( field ) { //dosome validation here... if ( failed) { field.focus(); return false; } else return true; }
Which Netscape version are you using? Can you reproduce in a Mozilla build (this is Mozilla's bug database)?
Attached file Reduced testcase (deleted) —
I believe I have captured the bug in the reduced testcase. Confirming bug. In NN4.7 and IE4, the upper textbox steals the focus as soon as you type more than three characters in it. Using Mozilla trunk binaries20011030xx on WinNT, Linux, however, the upper textbox never steals the focus no matter how many characters you type - OS : Win ---> All. This is not JS Engine; reassigning to DOM Level 0.

This looks like the same thing as bug 109962. I'm duping up because it has an even further reduced testcase.
I mean it this time :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 109962 ***
