OK. For these events, I agree.
Perhaps my explanations were not clear...

In fact, I wish that the user remains blocked in the input zone.

For example, the value of reference is 25 and the user must put a value which is larger than 25.
In the onchange event, I test the new value. If he put 13 for example, I'd like him not to leave the input zone (with, moreover, an alert message). In IE, I just write : return false and it is ok !
In Firefox, I sought several solutions (onfocus, onkeypress, etc...) without finding anything...

Do you have any solution, any suggestion ?

Thank you very much.

David.
