Input / Textarea Caret Problem

[phb5000]

Hi,

I'm working on a site where I have a couple text inputs and a textarea. However, when I preview my page the mouse carets aren't visible for some strange reason :confused:! I'm still able to edit the content, and drag-select, but the caret is never visible. Why is this happening?

Note:
- I use firefox to preview my pages (could this be a firefox issue?)
- I use absolute layouting and javascript code to resize divs
- My input fields and textarea do not have any special CSS styling applied

I see the issue (Fx 2.0.0.3), but not the cause. Sorry. It might well be a Fx rendering bug; you'd best ask on a forum like Mozillazine (http://forums.mozillazine.org/) if no-one here can suggest anything, and check the knowledge base (http://kb.mozillazine.org/) there.

I can tell you that if I disable CSS, the caret does appear, but not correctly. I have to disable images as well for that to happen.

Are you aware that things go horribly wrong without client-side scripting support? If this is for the public Web, you might want to reconsider that state of affairs. There's also both a horizontal and vertical scrollbar for no visual reason.
