Browser minimizes but then comes back again automatically! Java Script problem!

[javabeginner29]

Hi all,

I am trying to do date validation in my html page using javascript.My code is as follows:

HTML code:

<td><input name="expires" id="expires" type="text" onblur="Date_Validator2();" ></td>

Java Script Code:

function Date_Validator2(){
	
	var chkdate = document.getElementById("expires").value;
	if(chkdate == "")
	{
		alert("Please enter the Date..!!");
		PostAvailableBench.expires.focus();
		break;
	}else if(chkdate.match(/^\d{4}\-\d{2}\-\d{2}$/))
	{
	  alert('works out');
	  
	}
	else
	{
		alert("date format should be YYYY-MM-DD");
		PostAvailableBench.expires.focus();
		break;
	}
	
}

the problem here is :

After trying to test my code by entering the date value, I try to minimize the browser to carry on with the rest of the coding.. But the browser immediately comes back up with out even clicking on it and starts to give alert messages.. Im not really able to figure out what could be the problem..?Is it that my if statement goes into a loop due to something or anything else that I am not aware of ?

I would be glad if someone could help.. Thank You

Java != Javascript.
You need to find a Javascript forum.

@javabeginner29 why you are using this line of code: PostAvailableBench.expires.focus(); ?
What's purpose of that line of code?

Can you give me a full code that I can copy+paste it to .html file to see If I could help you.

This is a Java forum. If you want to offer JavaScript help, find a JavaScript forum.
