hi, all!

i am having an ie5.0 problem with my validation script.  what it's supposed
to do is:
1) check if the field is blank and, if it is...
2) link to my anchor so that the page scrolls up far enough to read
necessary text
3) set focus in the field they've missed
4) put up an alert to tell them why this is happening
5) return false so the form doesn't submit

all these work except for #3.  or rather, it sets focus to the appropriate
field, and then puts up the alert and unsets the focus.  so, i've tried
rearranging things so that it sets focus -after- it calls the alert, and
this doesn't work either.

the javascript is as follows:

function inputcheck () {

if (document.myForm.fieldOne.value == "") {
	document.location=('#comeHere');
	document.myForm.fieldOne.focus( );
	alert ("Please enter your info");
	return false;
	}
}

again, this works in ie4, nn4.02, nn4.5...  just not ie5.0. 

any ideas?

thanks!
