Showing focus

[sheldonlg]

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?

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

With your last test : Oll Korrect with Fx (mouse's pointer over fields)

Next test with a form in rear ?

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.

input:hover, textarea:hover { cursor: text }

#dimensions input:hover[type=text] { cursor: text }
#dimensions input:focus[type=text] { cursor: wait }

<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/ui.html#propdef-cursor>

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.

I have no solution for that.
Overall I can't get this not blinking cursor
