I’m used to dealing with bugs in legacy browsers, just not ones in Firefox. A strange bug in some releases of FF2 causes the cursor to disappear in text fields and textareas. A general fix was to specify overflow: auto for the fields. However, in some stubborn cases (inside the div-complexity of a modal box), this didn’t help.
I ended up using Jquery to inject a wrapper and some CSS to fix the issue.
$('.modal input[type=text], .modal input[type=password]')
.live('focus', function(){
if ($(this).parent().hasClass('ff2fix') == false) {
$(this).wrap('<div class="ff2fix" style="float: left; width: '
+ $(this).outerWidth() + 'px; height: '
+ $(this).outerHeight() + 'px;"></div>');
$(this).css('position', 'fixed');
}
$(this).focus();
return true;
});
