155683 - field focus right justifies

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 28583

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Frank Vogel]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    

NetScape and IE BOTH left justify JavaScript field focus.
Mozilla right justifies.
This causes appendage instead of replace/insert

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.do the following each for Mozilla, NetScape, and IE
2.http://www.4ice.com/focus.html
3.

Actual Results:  If the field value is initialized as a space " ", then the
field is passed with a left justified space using Mozilla.  The space is right
justified using NetScape and IE

Expected Results:  Left justify the focus

I REALLY like Mozilla and will soon switch to version 1 as our standard
