User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

This script works fine in IE. If user enter a value, until phone no is in correct format, it holds in the same field.
FF got a bug, so it is not stoping in same field, when user enter a phone no. It looses the focus and user can enter value in diff field without entering correct phone no.

<input type="text" name="frm_ph" onBlur="return formatPhone(this);" />

function formatPhone(obj)
{ 
	var num = obj.value;

	if(num == "")
		return false;

	var fIndex = num.indexOf('-');
	var mIndex = num.substring(4,num.length).indexOf('-');
	var sIndex = num.substring(4,num.length).lastIndexOf('-');
			if(num.indexOf(' ') != -1){
				alert("Phone number format ###-###-####");
				obj.select();
				return false;
			}else if(sIndex != mIndex){
				alert("Phone number format ###-###-####");
				obj.select();
				return false;
			}else if((fIndex != -1 && fIndex != 3) || (sIndex != -1  && sIndex != 3)){
				alert("Phone number format ###-###-####");
				obj.select();
				return false;
			}else if((fIndex != -1 && fIndex == 3) && (sIndex != -1  && sIndex == 3) && num.length != 12){
				alert("Phone number format ###-###-####");
				obj.select();
				return false;
			}else if((fIndex != -1 && fIndex == 3) && (sIndex != -1  && sIndex == 3) && num.length == 12){
				alert("Phone number format ###-###-####");
				obj.select();
				return false;
			}else if(num.length != 10){
				alert("Phone number format ###-###-####");
				obj.select();
				return false;
			}else{
				var tmp = num.substring(0,3) + "-" + num.substring(3,6) + "-" + num.substring(6,10);
 	 			obj.value = tmp; 
 	 			return true;
			}
}

Reproducible: Always

This is a bug in FF..right?.

When next event happens, it loose the past event focus and move along with next event. 

I mean, in my case i have obj.select();. This is suppose to go and select everything in the input text and stay there till the issue is corrected.
This is working well in IE.

First Case:
But in FF, when u click outside of input text, it display alert message once. After that, it looses control and goes somewhere.
Second Case:
If you click on another input text, from focus one. Control goes to second input text. It looses the previous event and move alone with new event.

Please let me know, is there any fix for this?.
