Doesn't look like this is getting fixed before the freeze tomorrow night.
Pushing out a milestone. Please correct if I'm mistaken.
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.3 → mozilla0.9.4

This bug makes field level validation in a form all but impossible.
function onblur_myField(event) {
...// check validity.
if (!valid) {
alert("Invalid data in field");
myField.focus();
return;
}
..
}
I have tried returning false (ala html) and cancelBubble all to no avail.
The field looses focus and the alert message appears several times (and then
stops). If I specify cancelBubble then an infinte alert loop ensues.
}
There is a workaround for most situations I can think of: do not use alert, but
write the error message into the page. In fact, I think I would prefer that to
alert in many situations.
For example, if you tried writing letters into the dependent bug list, we could
add red, bolded message saying numbers only after the edit box when you focused
somewhere else, and scroll to the red bolded message.
