Re: Focus does not show in FF

Actually there are good reasons for the sarcasm.

1 - Have you in the past in your own coding, encountered the SPECIFIC problem of focus (the I-beam) not showing in FF?

Possibly. There could be a slew of reasons and factors involved here. I'll try a couple.

Do you mean you cannot click on something and get the focus? That could be the result of some positioned element overlaying the control. But without *seeing* it, well...

Are you using some JavaScript to set the focus? Or functions on the onchange or onblur? What used to work in 4x browsers does not now, using JS to redirect focus back to a control now fails. In FireFox the field's content may be selected, but the focus still goes to the next control...example:

This is just two possibilities. Ponder some more and I could think of more, but this is a royal waste of time. "I have a problem but you cannot see the page 'cuz..." is just absurd! Either start offering some URL or pay somebody who really knows what they are doing to develop for you. Or lastly, be prepared to be ridiculed and teased here.

Take care,
