Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

[Randy Towry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

I have a application which uses popups to process data. One receives a a form,
then writes back to the main screen using javascript instead of refreshing the
screen. Upon opening the window, the browser window becomes unfocused.

When I try to focus, and start typeing, I find myself in the select as you type.
I cannot enter text into a form unless I completely start over firefox/mozilla.
Note Camino works fine. On Windows, Firefox and Mozilla work great.
This is a coldfusion application which has a very large opener window, with a
form for every item (200 + possible).



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. The opener page script function createTarget(t)
{
quicknotewindow=window.open(' ', t, 'height=400,width=400,resizable=yes');
quicknotewindow.focus();
window.focus();
return true;
}


2. The opener form action
<form  id="form#attributes.bookmark#" name="form#attributes.bookmark#"
method="post"  action="judgeviewadversaryquicknotepopup.cfm" onsubmit="return
createTarget(this.target)" target="QUICKNOTE" >



3. The return/refocus on popup window

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
	window.opener.focus();
	window.opener.document.getElementById('form<cfoutput>#form.bookmark#</cfoutput>').reset();

	window.opener.document.getElementById('note<cfoutput>#form.bookmark#</cfoutput>').value
= '<cfoutput>#variables.note#</cfoutput>';
	window.opener.document.getElementById('quicknote<cfoutput>#variables.nextfield#</cfoutput>').focus();
	setTimeout('window.opener.window.scrollByLines(5)',50);
	window.opener.document.getElementById('quicknote<cfoutput>#variables.nextfield#</cfoutput>').focus();
	<!--- self.close(); --->
		//--></SCRIPT>



Actual Results:  
Focus confusion

Expected Results:  
Open popups, focused on opener, written text

It seems to be related to other window.open problems in the Mac OS X.

My workaround is to use Camino for the Macintosh users.

While looking at my javascript code, I am setting focus to two windows 
concurrently. Changing my code to focus on the opener after executing the popup 
took care of the issue.

Sorry...

Nothing in the Mozilla code was broken or fixed.
