[Javascript] Making a Inline validation using js DOM and CSS part II

Hi,

Well, I have made that comment because in IE (with field.focus active) the
user cannot choose other field. But if you have (as It's intended) more than
one error message displayed at once, it will be nice to let the user choose
what he/she wants to correct first. That's why I've commented that line.
So I believe that this may not be an issue...

Thanks,
Márcio

Hello,

 

how about removing script comments from the line 33,

that is:

          //field.focus();

first?
