Can anyone help....this is a phone number validation script that I have modified...it alerts twice with any error and I don't understand why.

How could I re write this so it alerts just once.....Thanks in advance...suez

<head>
<script language="javascript">
function checkPhone() {
var stripped = document.ordr.P2.value;
var stripped = stripped.replace(/[\(\)\.\-\ ]/g, '');
if ((isNaN(parseInt(stripped)) || (!(stripped.length == 10))))
alert ("You have entered:" + "\n\n" + stripped + "\n\n" + "Please check your phone number and re-enter. ");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<body>
<form name="ordr"><td valign="top">&nbsp;<font face="Arial, Helvetica,sans-serif" size=1><b>Phone Number</b><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular" color="#ff0000" size="1">&nbsp;*</font><br>&nbsp;
<input type="text" size=12 name="P2" maxlength=12 tabindex=12 onblur="checkPhone()"></td></form>
</body>

Computers, eh! Who needs 'em? I just tested your code on my machine (running IE4) and damned if I could get it to do more than one alert... tabbing out, clicking out .. nothing doing!

Maybe it's different with the rest of the form present?

The same for me with IE 5.5: Only 1 alert when you go out of the input box

Thanks everyone....I feel silly....but I fully installed the script on our site and it is working correctly.

I had been testing from Homesite 4.5....and from there I was indeed getting double alerts.

You are all very gracious with your help! Thank you! suez
