    Question Input / Textarea Caret Problem

    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 ! 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 if no-one here can suggest anything, and check the knowledge base 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.
