onfocus event on Firefox

C

Confused

I'm having a problem with Firefox 2.0.0.14 on Windows XP Professional.
When I try putting an onfocus event on a page it just keeps looping
indefinitely. Has anyone else had problems with this?

Example code:

<script language="javascript">
function announce()
{
alert('Hi!');
}
</script>
..
..
<body onfocus="announce()">
etc.

A simple description of the problem would be that the focus moves from
the page to the alert, and then to the page again after you close the
message box. If you do not change focus from the focus handler, you'll
not have this problem.
