Hi, At the top of the function, you're comparing the field value against ''; but at the bottom if they cancel their change, you're setting it to this._txtFld. Should the comparison at the top be against this._txtFld? Or should a confirmed change set this._txtFld? Not that that would explain it was working in FF and not IE, unless the testing was done differently. I'm not seeing an issue with 'change' not being fired, either on IE6 or IE7.
If that's not it, I'd try picking up with step #3 from this article on the unofficial wiki: http://proto-scripty.wikidot.com/faq#xyzprob BTW, on the focus thing: You'll probably find that the focus doesn't shift back to the field if you call focus() from within the change handler; deferring the call might help, something like this after resetting the value (don't forget to add a var at the top for 'field'): field = e.findElement(); // The 1.6 way of doing Event.element(e) (function(){ field.focus(); }).defer(); HTH, -- T.J.
