Firefox problems with form elements?

Reply Quote

We are on 5.3 (11/13/2006 build) and are having a lot of problems with the form elements when using Firefox (IE seems fine in all cases). For instance, with Firefox we cannot type into text boxes, select values on lists, nor select values for the radio buttons and checkboxes. If you give me an e-mail address to which I can send information privately, I can give you a login account to our site so you can recreate this behavior yourself. Is there a configuration change we need to make? Thanks in advance.

Cloned another site, installed 6.0 on that. No difference in behavior of form elements using Firefox (IE6 is fine). If you provide an e-mail address, we can give you login credentials privately so you can see the problem directly (cannot type into textbox, textarea elements. Cannot select an item from a drop-down list).

Yes, using Firefox I added a textbox form element to your page. Our customers would expect to be able to type data into this textbox, but I cannot.

rockford,

This is the browser behavior. We cannot overwrite this behavior.

If you create an .htm file containing the following HTML (which was created by the textbox button on your toolbar) and just open that file in Firefox, you can type into the textbox. But, you cannot type into the textbox inside your editor. So, it would seem that this inability to type into a form element like a textbox is not default Firefox behavior, but something related to your control.

Try this example:

Your example is not in design mode.

I don't understand your point. Your website says "Compatible with the most important browsers available in the market: IE 5.5+, Firefox 1.0+, Mozilla 1.3+, Netscape 7+ and Safari (1.3+). This includes Macintosh and Linux." Nothing is said about having to use or not use 'design mode', whatever that is. We are not expecting to see different behaviors with these listed browsers. Please clarify. Thanks.

Just bumping this back up to the top, as it has slipped quite a ways down (we have customers waiting for a response/plan not only regarding our support for Firefox on Windows but also on a MAC, and this form-element feature is important for them).

rockford,

This is the browser limitation. We cannot overwrite this behavior.

Try this example:

For details, please check the following aritlce:

After you submit the form, the input box should be editable in your web page.
