RE: IE AJAX Focus Stuff (maybe a little off topic)
I wrote: I was thinking of maybe adding a function to set the focus of the element after the update has been done but this might present problems in itself. Just looking for any ideas or suggestions but I shall take a look at the source (obviously if I find a solution I will post the fix to save someone else the headache). Looks like the 2.1.9 source I should be looking at is ajax/cocoon.js though as my production system is currently using 2.1.8 (I was having some problems with DOJO) then I think I should be looking at org/apache/cocoon/ajax/resources/js/cocoon-ajax.js from the ajax block. Replying to my own messages. Sad ;). Anyway I played around with the cocoon-ajax.js script and couldn't fix the problem. The main thing I was trying was to do was update cocoon.ajax.BrowserUpdater.prototype.processResponse = function(doc, request) so it got the active element at the beginning of the it's changes and attempted to set the focus back to the same element after the changes had been performed. Didn't seem to work though, unless you put a debug alert() message before every focus where it worked fine (grrr...). Ah well I might remove the offending on-change handlers for now and try and fix it again later (maybe we'll have migrated to a real browser, I can live in hope). If you do have any suggestions I'd love to hear then though.

Re: IE AJAX Focus Stuff (maybe a little off topic)
Hi Gary, Replying to my own messages. Sad ;). I can't stand seeing a grown man cry ;-) So I thought I'd chip in with some ideas. Looking at the Microsoft documentation ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/focus.asp ) it would seem that an item's focus cannot be set until the document has fully loaded. Further more it will only work if the tabindex attribute is set. From my cursory look it would seem the general consensus is this is a documented bug. This may explain why your fix only worked after you put a debug alert() box on screen. - David. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

-Original Message- From: David Legg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't stand seeing a grown man cry ;-) So I thought I'd chip in with some ideas. I'm 13. Just kidding. I've got somewhere though. IE is messed up, but we knew that anyway. The three laws of IE6 AJAX in CForms appear to be: 1, If you are altering the DOM of the form item you are about to tab into then it will trigger the bug. 2, If you are moving to a selection list from an item that has just been altered then you trigger the bug. 3, If IE can cause you pain and grief then it will do. I tested this without using tabindex (which worked ok). Really just selection lists as well though they may be others but dull old input fields work fine. Right I feel I've lost enough sanity on that for now but I might see if I can find anything of note later.
