Thomas said (too much for me to digest tonite.)

But, I also tried my code with IE 11 and it worked correctly (or to my 
satisfaction) as did Chrome 54.0.2840.99

Also, I did quite a bit of google searching. Many others complained of 
"onkeyup" not executing a specific function with Firefox

Anyway, my text field of has a max length of 3 chars and will (later) be 
followed by several other fields. I wish each of this to be 'blurred' when a 
user tabs or <return>s.

Also, below is my current chkforret() function. I never get to the alert() 
with Firefox but I do with the others. I'll try Safari tomorrow

Another also: my logical vrbl 'gotret' is global and is set to false on 
entry to the validate() function. If a <return> is sensed, it is set to 
true.

I only want chkforret() set the 'gotret' vrbl -- nothing further.

***********************
function chkforret(el) {
// alert("in chkforret() now") ;
var e = event ;
if (e===null) e = window.event ;

if (e.keyCode=="13") {
   gotret = true ;
   return false ;
   }
gotret = false ;
return true ;
}
