Stop in the name of Focus, before you break my heart.....

Hoped y'all liked the musical intro (had that song stuck in my head all day.)

I'm validating a whole bunch of fields on an ASP page. What I need to do is to keep the next field from receiving focus, because it will blurr when I set focus back to the field with an error, thus creating an infinite loop of errors. (Ironically much like my life.) Everything works fine if I use onChange, but then again I can get away with passing bad data to the DB, and that's just wrong.

Think it O-O-over...dooo...dooo...dooo

Thanks,

Here is the code i use in my html files
I verify this in the onsubmit event but it works even in on blur method

Code:

<HTML> <HEAD> <META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0"> <TITLE></TITLE> <script language="javascript"> function check(elem) { if(elem.value=="") { alert("U must put an value in the field!"); elem.focus(); }; }; </script> </HEAD> <BODY> Name:<input type="text" onblur="check(this);"><br> Age:<input type="text" onblur="check(this);"><br> Location:<input type="text" onblur="check(this);"><br> </BODY> </HTML>
