I use a lost focus event for data validation for a JTextField in my applet -- a message box pops up on lost focus if invalid data input is detected. While this works fine from IDE (in my case, Visual Cafe), if I try it from the browser however, the same message box pops up many times each time the lost focus happens with invalid input. I already checked and handled the tempery event from the lost focus routine and it works just as expected from the applet viewer. Does anyone has a solution to this problem? Or has someone heard of this before?

Thanks.
