set focus on text box after validation

[barathymathialagan]

I need some help in javascript.

This is my function.


It validate the text, but it is not focusing on the text, after validation. focus goes to the next textbox.

function validatefn(field)
//function is called when the text is changed
{
var dblNum;
var txtText;
var txtMessage;
dblNum = 0.1;
if(!isNaN(field.value)) /* Checks to see if it is a number (isNaN: Not a Number) */
{
dblNum = field .value; /* alerts display message boxes */
}
else
{

alert("Please enter number without commas or dollar signs. ");
}
{

fieldFocus();
field.select();
}
}
This is the textbox

<input type="text" name="txtActRevenue" size="20"
onChange = "validatefn(this);" >

It validate the text, but it is not focusing on the text, after validation. focus goes to the next textbox.

How can I correct?

Hey,

You seem to have extra { and } in there. But to set a field's focus you would do this

field.focus();

with field being a reference to the field object for example:
document.formname.txtActRevenue;

Hope that helps.
