no sir..that's not what i mean...
after the message box appeared, i want to highligth the answer keyed in by user..so that, he/she can make the correction for that answer..the cursor wil remain at the answer keyed in, without move to the next textbox.

[rangana]

...and what has the code above is doing?

[hazrizal84]

i've added this.select(); after the alert statement..but it doesn't work with mozilla firefox browser..can u help me?..

[rangana]

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.

[rangana]

Try focus() function.

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