heh. Excessive multi-tasking strikes again. Kids, do as I say, not as
I do. And don't make me stop this car! :-)
<tip type="javascript debugging">
Using alert()s is a standard debugging approach but if you attach one
to a "blur" event, you're in trouble when it fires because each attempt
to close the alert box results in another blur. Lather, rinse, repeat. So
you'll probably wind up having to kill your browser process.
Instead, create a 'showMessage(myText)' function that appends your
desired debug message as a text node to some existing block-level
element in the page.
