Solve : Can't click inside textbox?

Answer»

I put this textbox inside a div and gave it a left margin of 75%, but now its difficult to click inside the textbox, any thoughts on what is causing this?

Here is the page: http://216.128.22.124/web/support/default.aspx

Thanks YakovLooks okay to me.  What browser are you using?When I use IE I can barely click on the top of the search textbox (in top left) when I use firefox the box arrow and button appear but all don't work (I can't click on/in them)?

I've been befuddled by this for a couple of days now, any insight is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks YakovLooks like the problem is caused by the javascript menus you're using.  The menu is layered above the text box, so the text box cannot take the focus even when the menu elements are hidden.  You can tab to the text box but not click on it.  Why not try CSS dropdown menus instead?  >See here<.YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!  I dropped the box below the drop downs and now it gets the focus, wow!!

I went to the CSS play, right now most of the dropdown is CSS, theirs is 100% CSS but it doesn't SEEM to pass validation, is that the drop down or their page (for some other reason)??

Thanks Again!!

I really wouldn't worry about the validation issue, unless you have a customer who particularly insists on it (unlikely).  It'll be the whole CSS/HTML that fails to validate, but it should still be displayed correctly in a wide range of browsers.

It's currently 11:45am here in the UK.Great!!  The CSS Play seems to be the only pure CSS drop down menu out there.

Do you know if IE 7 is going to support :hover for UL?

Thanks Again,

Yakov - I pretty new to this field the UK seems to have a lot of HTML proficieny...

Stu Nicholls (the author of CSS Play) is very impressive.  I'm not sure he's the only person doing drop-down CSS menus, but I think he was one of the first.  What he does with CSS blows my mind.

I haven't seen the white paper or any technical specifications, and to be honest I really couldn't be bothered to read them.  But Microsoft IS CLAIMING that it will be meeting more standards with this version of IE.  So yes, it SHOULD support the hover property.I'm on my way...

Thanks Again, Yakov
