What are you trying to achieve? Does'nt the code i've given you previously highlights the erroneous textbox? What's wrong with it. (I'm confused).

[hazrizal84]

the code you've given is actually highlight the textbox, not the answer entered. by adding this.select() after the alert statement, it works, it does highlight the answer and remain at the erroneous textbox, but it just works with I.E not mozilla firefox.. have you try with it?.. so, i want the code, so that it will work with both IE and mozilla firefox.

Try focus() function.

Btw, the best I could do is highlight the textbox.
