IE: Doesn't have the problem at all. Can you confirm?
Yes, my mistake, the cursor does not move in IE.
FF: Only has the problem when the autocomplete="off" attribute is specified. Can you confirm?
In FF, the cursor moves on key_up whether I have autocomplete="off" or autocomplete="on" or just leave out the autocomplete attribute altogether. (FYI- using Scriptaculous 1.5.2. I looked through recent checkins on controls.js but they looked unrelated.) On 5/23/06, Daniel Elmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

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.
