     I have onblur event code that validates for each control.  If the
validation fails, focus has to be put back to the erroneous control.
In order to do this, the validation for the new control must be turned
off before the focus is moved.  If it is not, then it may result in
another validation failure.  After, the validation must be turned back
on.

     I turn the validation on and off by setting a global
appropriately.  The start of the validation code checks whether
validation is currently enabled and simply returns true if validation
is off.

     The problem was the <Esc> handling that I was having was that as
soon as I turned the validation back on, the validation code was
executed.  Somehow, an event was firing.

     This problem has been dealt with, but it was not easy to track
down.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
