Subject: JavaScript sticks on focus.

I have a validation function and the this is the last thing it does.

var mytext=document.getElementById("sizip")
if(check5(mytext,"Zip Code must be 5 digits.")==false)
{mytext.focus();return false;}

==== Function check5

function check5(mytext,alerttxt){
var re5digit=/^\d{5}$/ //regular expression defining a 5 digit number
if (mytext.value.search(re5digit)==-1) //if match failed
alert(alerttxt);return false;

=====
It will validate ok, if I do not have 5 digits, I get an error box.

But then if I click the accept button again, it puts focus back on my zip
code with no error.
I scanned through the file and do not find any other places where I am
doing focus on this.

The only other places I reference it is where it is defined and where I
tell it to auto jump
to the next text box.

<input type="text" name="sizip" size="5" tabindex="10" maxlength="5">
autojump('sizip', 'sizip4', 5);
function autojump(fieldName,nextFieldName,fakeMaxLength)
{
var myForm=document.forms[document.forms.length - 1];
var myField=myForm.elements[fieldName];
myField.nextField=myForm.elements[nextFieldName];

if (myField.maxLength == null)
myField.maxLength=fakeMaxLength;

myField.onkeydown=autojump_keyDown;
myField.onkeyup=autojump_keyUp;
}

I AM THANKFUL FOR THIS FORUM. (The priest at confession Saturday told me
to remember things this week I am thankful for)
