@ExuroFeb 22.2005 — Your first textbox keeps getting the focus because it's still invalid. You need to delete that space that's sitting in there before it'll let you move focus to a different form element. However, since it's just a space, it's hard to see that there's still anything entered there at all. So, it might be better to trim the whitespace off the field every time it validates:
function validatePhone(obj)
{
// Trim off the extra whitespace
document.getElementById(obj).value = document.getElementById(obj).value.replace(/^s*(S*)s*$/,"$1");
// Continue on with the rest of the function as you had it
var testVar = document.getElementById(obj).value;

Success!
