[thelist] JS: focus() and NS7.1

Hi folks

Is anyone aware of any outstanding issues using focus() in forms in Netscape 7? A colleague here
has a script that, when there is an error throws a popup and then goes back and focuses the field.
It works fine in everything except NS7. I didn't find any notes in Danny G's JS Bible and the
script doesn't throw any errors or even warnings, but just continues on to the next form element.

Here's a sniplet of the function:

function fn_chk_format(field,field_desc,field_type){
...
  alert('The ' + field_desc + ' has an invalid date...');
  field.focus();
...
}

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tom
