Post some code or a link to a test page.
The htc "field.htc" is as follows:
------------------------------------------
[HTML]<html>
<head>
<PUBLIC:COMPONENT tagName="field">
<PUBLIC:DEFAULTS viewLinkContent="true" tabStop="true"/>
<public:property name="value" />
<!-- *** Attached Events *** -->
<PUBLIC:ATTACH EVENT="ondocumentready" ONEVENT="_init()" />
<PUBLIC:ATTACH EVENT="
onfocus" ONEVENT="_focus()" />
</PUBLIC:COMPONENT>
<link id="lnkStyle" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="">
<script>
function _init()
{
_input().value = element.value;
}
function _input()
{
return document.getElementById("input1");
}
function _focus()
{
_input().select();
}
function setfocus()
{
//alert('focus');
}
</script>
</head>
<body leftMargin="0" topMargin="0" bottommargin="0" rightmargin="0" scroll="no" width="100%" height="100%">
<input id='input1' onfocus='setfocus()' style='height:100%; width:100%' >
</body>
</html>[/HTML]
************************************************** *******
The html page that hosts the htc is as follows
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[HTML]<html XMLNS:test>
<head>
<?IMPORT NAMESPACE="test" IMPLEMENTATION="field.htc" />
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%">
<tr width="100%">
<td width="50%" ><test:field value="Input field1" /> </td><td width="50%"><test:field value="Input field2" /></td>
</tr>
<tr width="100%">
<td width="50%" ><test:field value="Input field3" /></td><td width="50%" ><test:field value="Input field4" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>[/HTML]
#1 - Language setting: Open the web page in browser and make sure that you can tab through the fields property and if you have language bar on the top and "Japanese" language is selected with "Hirangana" input mode while you were in first field, the setting stays like that until you get in field4.
#2 IE crashes - Now while in field1, you click on some window other than this html page, then click on field2 then again on some other window then again on field1 and you will notice that in 3 to 4 clicks, your IE crashes.
Now in field.htc change the "onfocus" shown in bold event to "onactivate" and you will see that problem#2 does not occur, however, while in field1 if you tab to the next field, then the Input Mode for Hirangana on IME language bar changes and if you try to click on "Input Mode", it does not respond until you click on either field2 or some other input field. This happens only if you try to tab through fields. Mouse clicks do not lock Language Input Mode.
