In a validation function on a input text in the onBlur event, wich returns false, as example, it shouldn't be allowed to the focus be set to the next field, but keep it in the field where the event occured.
I'm not quite sure if the implementation of JavaScript language on FireFox is "by-the-book" as recommended by W3C, or if the implementation of JS on IE is the correct one, because in that browser, it works just fine.
As example, the following code won't work on FF, but it will works on IE:
<html>
<head>
<title>onBlur</title>
<script language="Javascript">
function checkSize( field ) {
if( field.value.length < 6 ) {
alert('*** Password must have 6 characters minimum.');
field.focus(); //keep the focus on this field if it wrong.
return ( false ); // it must kill the onBlur event
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="f1" method="get">
<h3>Login Form</h3><hr>
User:<br>
<input type="text" name="user"><br>
Password:<br>
<input type="password" name="passw" maxlength="10" onBlur="checkSize( this );">
<input type="submit" name="send" value="Login">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a HTML simple code such as described above.
2.Open the page with FF and test it.
3.Open the page with IE and test it.
Actual Results:
The code works fine on IE but it doesn't on FF.
Expected Results:
In the same way that is possible to prevent a form for being submited, using the onSubmit event with some function that returns false, I suppose that the same logic it should be applied to the onBlur event.
As I said, I'm not sure wich implementation of JavaScript is recommended by W3C, so, the behaviour of onBlur event on FF must be right, despite I think that it aren't.

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.6 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME

I have made a test on FF 3.6.10, using the same code previously presented and the results were the following:
The onBlur called the checkSize function and it displayed the alert message. However, despite the message has been showed and the form hasn't been submitted, the focus moved to the submit button, wich, when is pressed a second time, submit the form, wich is not the expected result for this event.
As expected, the code worked right on IE. It showed the message and killed the onBlur event, preventing it from moving to the next object, keeping the focus in the object where the event occured, until the condition in the called function (i.e. checSize) is different from "false".
