When validating a field with "Onchange=", how can you keep the cursor in this field in NS6?

You have to delay the focus setting.

function validateField (f){
// blah blah field is bad so:
setTimeout ('document.' + f.form.name + '.' + f.name + '.focus()',100);
setTimeout ('window.alert (\'Invalid entry.\')', 100);
}

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<FORM NAME="myForm">
<input type="text" name="myFld" onChange="validateField(this);">
</FORM>
