[Javascript] required entry field

[christ at saeweb.com (Chris Tifer)]

I would naturally think that once onBlur is called, it's going to lose focus
no matter what.  I would change the routine so that way it specifically
sets the focus back to that field instead of just trying to cancel the
onblur
event.
