Hello Davide,

when I place a text inputcontrol in a form, type normal, everything is ok in internet explorer. The same textarea in firefox doesn't show a cursor. When I change the type to TextArea, I can see a cursor in FF, but then I get unwanted scrollbars in IE.
A second problem is that the maxlenght doesn't work. I can place much more characters then I want.

hope you can help

regards

Petran

What do you intend for "show a cursor"?
I've tested it in the two browser and for me always is ok

Note that the maxlength property doesn't work for textarea fields (this is the HTML, not the D.H.E.); only for one-line fields like text, hidden, password boxes.

Regards, Davide

If I make a text input, style normal, in FF I see the cursor when I move over the field, but when I click in it nothing seem to happen. I don't see a curor in the field. Even a objectvalue is invisible until I hit a key. In IE and Opera it works fine.
Maxlenght is clear to me now, thanks.

D.H.E. doesn't make nothing special with the Text field so I suppose there is the standard browser behaviour

it's getting weird... probably browser specific. when I make the position off one field in the form relative, everything is ok, but my page is not centred any more. I also tried to remove the term "absolute" in the source code. the fields are working ok then, but my total page becomes a mass. Do I realy have to abandon FireFox?

I suggest you to insert into forms only relative positioned objects; this is more compatible with all browsers ;-)

I now placed my form, with relative positioned objects, in an Iframe so i can stil center the page. Everything works fine in several browsers.
Maybe not the nicest solution, but it is A solution.

thanks for your time
