JavaScript onFocus / OnBlur query in Chrome

Hi all

I'm putting together a form and need to use some simple Javascript within it. I want to use the onFocus event to prompt the user with acceptable answers. I've tested the from in IE & Firefox and the script works fine but in Chrome I get caught in an infinite loop. It doesn't seem to be just my platform either; I've emailed the form to a couple of colleagues and they also get the same problem in Chrome.

I've put a highly simplified version of the HTML and Script below:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
What is your favourite colour?
<input name="colour" type="text"size="20"maxlength="30" onFocus="window.alert('eg Red, green or blue.'); return true;" onBlur="self.status=' '; return true">
</BODY>
</HTML>

I'd be really grateful for any suggestions please?

Thanks in advance
 
You could take out those returns fella.
But does it also kick in when you use Safari or is it just a Chrome issue?

I also cant see what your trying to do with the staus on blur either TBH. :)
