I have a problem with not seeing the current focus while in a particular
screen in a my app. The focus does not show for a type=text or
textarea. I have tried to reproduce this problem in a test application,
but have not been successful is doing that.
The actual app has a screen which is displayed on a template and the
contents are the return from an AJAX call. In that content there is a
hidden block. Clicking on a button in the displayed area causes that
hidden block to appear (with a gray background in a fixed location on
the screen). It is in that area that I have both text fields and text
areas. I also have dropdown lists and buttons. Only the text areas and
text fields do not display focus when there, but I can type into them so
I know that focus is there.
For my test app I copied the CSS file that I had been using and placed
my content within the same two named <div>s where the actual content
appears on the template. With this test app there is no problem. The
test app is at http://www.sheldonlg.com/multiplesel...multiples5.php.
I don't even know where to start looking for the problem. I did a
search in Google for "ht ml showfocus", but that wasn't much help.
Any suggestions?

CSS (for others than IE) :
input { background: silver }
input:focus { background: white }
HTML :
<input onfocus="if(IE) this.background ='white';"
onblur="if(IE) this.background ='';"
id="hiddenInput " name="Name">
JS :
IE = false; /*@cc_on IE=true; @*/
is your div styled visibity: hidden; or display: none; ?
is your div in same form that the form in rear when this div comes at
front ?
does that happens also with Firefox ?

Apparently no problem with focus (Fx 2 Mac)
Correct! This is the sample app and it works. I cannot reproduce the
problem in a simple app, and I cannot point you to the actual app since
that is behind firewalls and accessible only via VPN (it is an intranet
app). If I could reproduce the problem in a simple app, I would be 3/4
of the way to a solution.

I tried the CSS stuff. That does what it says, but it doesn't solve my
problem. Let me more precise.
When that form comes up, the cursor everywhere is that left-up pointing
arrow. When the mouse is over a text field or a text area element, the
cursor changes to a vertical I-beam. However, the blinking vertical
line does not appear in the text field or the text area if I click on
them to set focus there. However, focus is set there as I can type in
information. I want to have that blinking vertical bar on as visual
feedback as to where the focus is.

It is difficult to see what the problem is without an
exact-ish example.
Did you try, instead of changing visibility from hidden to visible,
to change with JavaScript the value of inner.HTML my************* ******@googlema il.com wrote:

I know. I wish I could reproduce it here.

No, there is much to much to generate to then use an innerHTML setting.

Just to state the obvious:
check for error messages in the Firefox error console,
check valid HTML, CSS etc.
I see that you use in your example tables in the form.
Maybe try the form without tables, just in case,
sometimes tables in forms can create problems. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I have the following function in the onchange event of several text
boxes. If the user enters an invalid number the alert displays. I
would like to return the user to that same field after he closes the
alert but setting the focus as I'm doing here doesn't do it (instead,
the focus goes to the next field).
Any suggestions as to hwo I can make this work?
Thanks.

Hi,
From reading something months ago, I've been under the impression that
saying button1.Focus() is enough to focus on the button and highlight it (the
dotted box). If this is true, I don't know what's wrong with my version, but
it doesn't work. In certain circumstances, when a button is definitely
focused on, you wouldn't be able to tell so from looking at the screen (the
dotted box isn't there so it looks like nothing's focused on). ...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
