When trying to jump back to the input field after checking the data put into, the following JavaScript function is executed without errors, but still the button (or the next input field) is selected, not the one represented by field: function checkKlasse(field){ if(field.value != 'J' && field.value != 'K') { field.focus(); field.select(); } }

Reporter: could you attach a complete testcase ? And please tell us your build-ID.

There's a short example: http://dir.juxi.dyndns.org/projects/JStest.html when entered a non-number value in one of the fields and then set the focus in another one (by just clicking in another one or pressing TAB) the onblur function should be called! The error is printed, but the focus and the selection NOT set! If you try it with another browser (e.g. IE) it is! My build is: 2002072104

Confirmed on WinXP trunk build 2002072308.
