Hmm. My first post attempt didn't seem to work. So I'm trying it again. It appears to me that my onfocus handler is not reliably able to use getNodeAttribute to retrieve the contents of other nodes. I created a small example (see below) of this. In my example, I have two text fields called text1 and text2, which I believe to be remarkably original names. I've attached an onfocus handler to text2 and when I use getNodeAttribute for text1 in this handler, it gets null even when I've entered data into text1. However if I use the less desirable instruction "text1Val = TheForm.text1.value;" it does work. I would appreciate if anybody can explain to me why this is the case. I don't need a workaround because retrieving the value the "oldfashioned" way seems to be available to me. But I would like to use MochiKit functions where possible. So why is it not possible in this case. Thanks in advance.
