Return to field in form from alert box

[plaberge]

I am using alert to return to a form if it is not filled out correctly. For example, I have a field for quantity that must be from 1 to 99. My code is:

temp = document.item0.QTY.value;
if (temp > 0 && temp < 100) {
...
} else {
alert (&quot;Select a numeric Quantity greater than 0 and less than 100&quot;
document.item0.QTY.focus();
document.item0.QTY.select();
return false;

But when I click OK on the popup window, it goes back to the top of my web page instead of to this field in the form. What am I doing wrong? Do I have something missing on the form?

Thanks!

Post your code, we can't guess what your code contains.

Here is my form code:

<form name=&quot;item0&quot;> <b>Qty:</b> <input id=&quot;f00&quot; name=&quot;QTY&quot; type=&quot;text&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;>

<select id=&quot;f01&quot; name=&quot;Color&quot;>
<option value=&quot;selected&quot;>Select Color</option>
<option>Sports Grey </option>
<option>Bimini </option>
<option>Bright Royal </option>
<option>Pine </option>
</select>

<select id=&quot;f02&quot; name=&quot;Size&quot;>
<option value=&quot;selected&quot;>Select Size</option>
<option>S</option>
<option>M</option>
<option>L</option>
<option>XL</option>
<option>2XL (add $2)</option>
</select>
</form>

Sorry but it would be better to post the WHOLE code from that page.

I know you return false but to which function call?????

Or try to put the alert after the:

document.item0.QTY.select();

hi

>.. id=&quot;f00&quot; name=&quot;QTY&quot; why do you use differnt id & name? may be that's your prob?

try the same code (the code is workable) but remove/rename your id's names/ids

try also document.forms instead of document

I got it figured out. It is probably pretty basic but I am very new to javascript.

Here was my old call:
<a onclick=&quot;MakeBuy (0)&quot; href=&quot;#&quot;>
<img src=&quot;

http://images.paypal.com/images/sc-but-03.gif&quot;

border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;106&quot; height=&quot;24&quot;></a>

Here is my fixed call:
<a onclick=&quot;MakeBuy (0);return false&quot; href=&quot;#&quot;>
<img src=&quot;

http://images.paypal.com/images/sc-but-03.gif&quot;

border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;106&quot; height=&quot;24&quot;></a>

The &quot;return false&quot; does the trick

Thanks for your help!
