I'm a newbie at this so couldn't figure this one out.

<html>
	<head>
	<title>Test JavaScript</title>
	
	</head>
<body>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		var frst=true;

		function first()
		{
			if(frst==true)
			{
				window.alert('Don't forget to Capitalize.');
			}
			frst=false;
		}
	</script>

	<form>
		<input type="button" value="Derke" onclick="first;" />
		
		<select>
			<option>color</option>
			<option>smell</option>
			<option>rain</option>
		</select>
		
		<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

		<input type="text" onfocus="first;" />
	</form>
	
</body>
</html>

the onfocus handler isn't working. focusing on the textbox doesnt do anything.

You might find Firebug (or something similar) useful.

Thanks...I see it now, and feel like mashing my head against a wall for not seeing it before.
