Hey João, I think it's a pivot issue. I’ve created a simple Applet and a pivot example:
Applet Version (immediate focus works): http://betrunken.de/media/appletFocusDemo/appletPlainDemo.html Pivot Version (immediate focus doesn’t work): http://betrunken.de/media/appletFocusDemo/pivotPlainDemo.html Try to start typing after reload. I've tested this with Chrome and Firefox. It works only for the applet version. You can download the source from: http://betrunken.de/media/appletFocusDemo/demoApplet.jar I appreciate any hint :) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: João Neves [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 14.

For instance, Firefox doesn't let you gain focus on an embedded SWF due to the way external plugins are dealt with in the browser. Since Java applets need the Java plug-in pretty much in the same way SWF objects need the Flash plug-in installed, I fear you're out of luck. At least in the case of Firefox and Flash you can't even lose focus from the SWF object without clicking outside of it. Some browsers (like some versions of IE, I believe) may let you do it with some of the Javascript trickery Greg mentioned above, but cross-browser... I don't think it's doable right now. AFAIK, the guys at Mozilla have been trying to get focus management work better with Flash et al, but I don't think they have anything ready any time soon. Of course, it's been a while since I last tried to do something like that (and gave up), so I may not be completely right. :-) Cheers! -- João Neves On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 15:28, Felix Eckhardt <[email protected]> wrote: > I've tried these example too.
