Hi Apollo6
This should work for you, change your body tag to say this:
<body onLoad="document.getElementById("ss_num"
.focus()"> Hope I helped / Thanks for helping
if ((Math.abs(x)<10&&Math.abs<10) &&(((parseInt(x.toString()+y.toString())-x-y)%9)!=0)){alert("I'm a monkey's uncle"}
This should work for you, change your body tag to say this:

.focus()"> Hope I helped / Thanks for helpingif ((Math.abs(x)<10&&Math.abs
<10) &&(((parseInt(x.toString()+y.toString())-x-y)%9)!=0)){alert("I'm a monkey's uncle"}For hellTell's code to work, make sure to set the id as well as the name...

D'oh! Feeling stupid today.
I put double quotes within quotes on mine.
Should be:
<body onLoad="document.getElementById('ss_num1').focus()"> Hope I helped / Thanks for helping
if ((Math.abs(x)<10&&Math.abs<10) &&(((parseInt(x.toString()+y.toString())-x-y)%9)!=0)){alert("I'm a monkey's uncle"}
