[thelist] Simple Javascript field checking

Hi

I'm using

function checkEmail()
{
	if
(document.registrationForm.regEmail!=document.registrationForm.regEmail2)
	{
		alert ("Emails not the same");
		return false;
	}
	return true;
}

wot I wrote myself to check onChange whether the second email is the
same as the first, in Firefox in Linux RH9.

The problem is, if it alerts an error and I correct it, when I move
on, it alerts again. If I go back to the field and change nothing,
then it's OK.

It's as if the function is being called before the new data is written
to the field.

What am I doing wrong?

J
