Hi, i hae the following code: $(document).ready(function(){ $('#txtSearch').attr('value', 'Enter Search tags for skills or functions').focus(function(){ $(this).attr('value', ''); showSearchBox(); }) });
function showSearchBox(){ $('#searchBox').slideDown(); } function hideSearchBox(){ $('#searchBox').slideUp(); $('#txtSearch').attr('value', 'Enter Search tags for skills or functions'); } function showMessagesBox(){ $('#messagesBox').slideDown(); } function hideMessagesBox(){ $('#messagesBox').slideUp(); } this is the HTML: <body> <div id="header"> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><img src="/img/logo.gif"></td> <td align="center"> <span id="settings">settings</span> <span id="logout">logout</span><br> <span id="messages"><a href="javascript: void 0;" onclick="showMessagesBox();">MESSAGES(13)</a></span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="searchInput"><input type="text" id="txtSearch" size="40"/></ div> <div id="messagesBox"> <a href="javascript: void: 0" onclick="hideMessagesBox();">Close</a> </div> <div id="searchBox"> <table width="100%"> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td>Current/Last Job Company</td> <td><input type="text" id="lastJobCompany"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Current/Last Job Title</td> <td><input type="text" id="lastJobTitle"/></td> </tr> </table> <table> <tr> <td>Min. Base Pay</td> <td> <select id="basePayTime"> <option value="yearly">Yearly </select> <select id="basePayMoney"> <option value="30000-45000">$30,000-45,000 </select> </td> <tr> <td> Work Type </td> <td> <input type="checkbox" value="full" id="chkJobTypeFull"><label for="chkJobTypeFull">Full-time</label> <input type="checkbox" value="contract" id="chkJobTypeContracr"><label for="chkJobTypeContracr">Contract</ label> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Education</td> <td> <select id="educationSelect"> <option>4 Year Degree </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Location</td> <td> <input type="radio" name="location" value="local" checked id="localLocation"> <label for="locationLocal">Local Only</label> <input type="radio" name="location" value="relocation" id="localRelocation"> <label for="locationRelocation">Would consider relocation</label> </td> </tr> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="30%"> <div id="searchResults" class="pseudo-textarea"> </div> </td> <td width="30%"> <div id="searchSkills" class="pseudo-textarea"> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <a href="javascript: void 0;" onclick="hideSearchBox();">Close</a> </div> So, when i focus on the textbox, it does de slideDown, but in IE, it also "hides" all the content of the slided div. In FF it works fine. I'm using the last release of jquery. 1.2.3 minified Thanks in advice!
