[flexcoders] Re: MAC : TextInput focus
I tried the same example and it worked in Firefox on the Mac but not in
Safari. In Safari the text input looks like it has focus - it has a
blue glowing border around it - but I can't type in it without first
clicking the mouse. Both of the lines theInput.stage.focus = theInput
and theInput.setFocus() work in Firefox, neither work in Safari.

private function onApplicationComplete():void {
callLater(setFocusOnUserName);
}
private function setFocusOnUserName():void {
ExternalInterface.call(s = function()
{document.getElementById('+this.id+').focus(); });
theInput.stage.focus = theInput;
// theInput.setFocus();
}
]]

Here is a good discussion of the issue: http://carrythezero.net/blog/2009/01/20/flex-textinput-focus-issues/ http://carrythezero.net/blog/2009/01/20/flex-textinput-focus-issues/ and a summary of what seems to be the problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/594821/object-focus-problem-with-safa\ ri-and-chrome-browsers http://stackoverflow.com/questions/594821/object-focus-problem-with-saf\ ari-and-chrome-browsers It sounds like there may not be a solution now, for browsers like Safari based on WebKit.

Are you saying this should do the same in Safari (Windows or Mac, it's
the most recent version of Safari), but b/c of a browser (or Flash)
issue it does not?
Thanks

Maybe the latest versions have finally made it possible. Slowly, one
browser at a time, we hope to work with the browser manufacturers to
make it so your users can just start typing, but it isn't possible on
all browsers right now.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus
Alex,
As soon as the application loads up, im getting the login
screen(TitlwWindow component) which has got three fields username,
password and domain. I'm trying to set the focus to the username field
so that user can start typing. The focus is set to username field in IE,
Firefox and also in Chrome but not in Safari browser. The weird thing
here(in Safari browser) as soon as i click on the application,(ie.
somewhere within the browser window) the focus will be set to username
field.
Is this browser plug-in issue or bug on Flex side ?
Thanks,
Suman

Yeah. And I'm surprised you got it working on FireFox.
