Ok, since I couldn't stand the whining and nagging of the users of my Qooxdoo 0.1 application, I invested some time into the question how to work around the gecko-based browser (Firefox / Mozilla) bug which prevents the display of the cursor in input fields in widgets that hover over other widgets.
There are a few hints online, but they all did not help me. For example: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167801 counsels to set the underlying Divs' overflow property to "none". However, the exact opposite seems to be true! When I hacked the QxTextField source (remember, this is qooxdoo 0.1!) as follows: function QxTextField(vText) { QxWidget.call(this); if(isValid(vText)) { this.setText(vText); }; this.setHtmlProperty("type", "text"); this.setTabIndex(1); this.setCanSelect(true); this.setTagName("INPUT"); this.setTextAlign("left"); this.addEventListener("blur", this._onblur); this.addEventListener("focus", this._onfocus); /** start hack CB**/ this.addEventListener("click", function(e) { this.getParent().getElement().style.overflow="auto"; }); /** end hack **/ }; QxTextField.extend(QxWidget, "QxTextField"); The cursor appeared, as can be seen here: http://m15s08.vlinux.de/~cboulanger/bibliograph-0.9/ This helps for most situations, however, I still cannot select text in QxTextFields or QxTextAreas. Maybe there will be a part two to this saga. Cheers, Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
