Erwin
setCond is the name of my form. I was using ID and names when I was
trying to access an element from different ways trying to get the
thing to work. I went ahaed and took out all the IDs', as you had said
that maybe I had a naming problem. That still didn't work. I was using
onchange to test the text for correct information. When I changed the
onchange to onblur, the focus() would work. What is the difference
between the onchange and onblur that would make the focus work?
Thank you for your help.
