Setting focus using document.getElementById

[vic]

Hello,

I am trying to set focus to a specific field using document.getElementById.
When the code is run I get the alert message but the focus to the text field
bill_fname seems to be ignored. Would someone be so kind as to check my
code and tell me what is wrong??

Following is the code:


$bill_address2 = $_POST['address2'];
$bill_city = $_POST['city'];
$bill_state = $_POST['state'];
$bill_zip = $_POST['zip'];
$bill_searchState = $_POST['state'];
$bill_searchCountry = $_POST['country'];

?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var sErr_message = "<?php echo "Set the focus to billing first name";
?>."
alert (sErr_message)
//document.purchase.bill_fname.focus();
document.getElementById('bill_fname').focus()

</script>
<?php
.....
?>


Thanks,

Vic
