159117 - JavaScript - checking of form inputs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53579

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Juxi Leitner]

When trying to jump back to the input field after checking the data put into,
the following JavaScript function is executed without errors, but still the
button (or the next input field) is selected, not the one represented by field:

function checkKlasse(field){
	if(field.value != 'J' && field.value != 'K') {
		field.focus();
		field.select();
	}					
}

There's a short example:
http://dir.juxi.dyndns.org/projects/JStest.html
when entered a non-number value in one of the fields and then set the focus in
another one (by just clicking in another one or pressing TAB) the onblur
function should be called! The error is printed, but the focus and the selection
NOT set! If you try it with another browser (e.g. IE) it is!
My build is: 2002072104
