I too have experienced an issue when a form field is hidden cos its populated by some other script on the page (on some user action) like for eg, selecting something from a custom drop down widget populates a hidden field and till then the form validate is put on the hidden field.
Once it reaches that field things stop working. Whats a better workaround for this (other than putting the elements outside the focus of the page)? Can we turn default focus on error elements off? On 5/18/07, Jörn Zaefferer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I've actually seen that problem before and though I had fixed it by running the focus-stuff only on submit-events (not on blur etc.). But in your case it seems like the issue occurs also on submit. If you can confirm that, I'd put the try-catch-block around the focusing block back in. -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de
