Thanks for the quick response.
Go into any input box and press the up key, your cursor will move backwards, its part of the basic nav. system.
I tried pressing the up arrow in the Google.com search box, my Ameritrade quote box, and on a RoR Trac ticket page. None of them move the cursor backwards on key-up. (I tested in IE 6, Firefox 1.5, and IE 7b2). Can you provide an example of a web page that does that? Or are you saying, "If and only if you attach to Event.KEY_UP, the input field will start responding on its own as well." Something doesn't seem right about that... I'll keep looking through the autocompleter code to see if I can dig something up, but I'd appreciate any further ideas or commentary. On 5/23/06, Daniel Elmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You can counter this effect in IE by changing the value of the input field, say by: Field.value = Field.value + ''; Tag that to your onkeyup event. As for FF, I haven't found any solution. Let me know if you find one. -Daniel Elmore -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeoff Wilks Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 9:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] Autocompleter - up arrow moves cursor to start ofinput box When using the autocompleter and scrolling through options, if you press the up arrow key the input field cursor moves backward. Some of my users have reported that they find this very distracting. Does anyone know why this happens, or where in the code I could fix it? Steps to recreate: 1. Go to http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter 2. Type in a letter (or two or three) 3. Arrow down through a few of the choices 4. Now arrow up, and observe: the text input field cursor moves backward. _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
