I've done searches on this but can't find any information. On a Mac in Safari, I have a chat program and on the Customer Service side the textarea does not remove the previously typed answer. So the CSR has to highlight the text and then type her response. Any suggestions with how to clear the textarea? OR any suggestions what so ever? Thanks!
Unfortunately, the "chat program" in question was probably written to specifically handle "placeholder" text for IE, since IE doesn't recognize it like most other browsers.
I've tried to write simple jQuery code to get placeholder text to show up in IE before myself, but ended up abandoning it because it caused the effect you're describing in other browsers.
If you don't have direct control over the "chat program", I fear there is probably no way to "fix" this issue.

I want to create a typing assisting addon to my Firefox such that whatever the user is typing currently appears on a small window on the right hand side bottom in bigger fonts.
This will help slow typists to type at a faster rate.
For example, when the user is on yahoo sign-up page and text box name, a small window should appear on the bottom right corner and should display the text he is entering in larger fonts. In this manner, the user can keep typing without moving his head up.
I have no experience with firefox addons, so I would like to know whether this project is feasible. If it is, then I would like to know whether it's possible to do with only JavaScript; or if I will have to use jQuery.
It will be much appreciated if you can provide some guidance in this matter.
Sure it's feasible. You never have to use jQuery and it's not very useful when writing an add-on anyway, since you don't care about differences between browsers.
I suggest you start with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/ , try to get a page-mod running, make it handle keystrokes and display them in a <div> on the web page it's running in.
With Silverlight 5, I cannot type anything into the input fields. Using Chrome in MacOS.
Do I have to install a plugin or it is a specific configuration of the browser?
Sadly this is the behavior of textboxes in Silverlight 5 in Chrome on osX. They work fine in Safari, Firefox, etc... but not Chrome.
Officially Silverlight is not supported in Chrome on osX. Silverlight 4 worked fine, but 5 no.
Sorry that this is not the answer you're hoping for.
You can also look at this post:
Silverlight 5 issue on mac
Had the same problem and found a workaround: type the text in some other program, copy and paste it into silverlight. For me it helped to type username and password into Lync Web App, which was enough.
I know this answer it late for original question, but it may help others who hit this thread like I did :-)
Have a nice day!
If you are developing SL5 on Chrome for mac. There is a work around, but it takes a little work. Create a javascirpt function that captures key strokes, disable the default browser behavior for that keystroke and pass the key event to silverlight. If a textfield is in focus, append the keyevent to the textfield.
It is not too hard to program up, but you need to keep in mind that not all keyevents are characters that you want to display. Also, you need to do some bookkeeping in order to place the typed key in the correct location of a text field: as the cursor can move.
I ran into a strange issue with tinyMCE that i was not able to replicate outside of my complete framework. The whole thing runs only in FireFox, as it supports only FF, therefore the issue is limited to FF.
I use AJAX calls to dynamically load one or multiple instances of tinyMCE.
However, when entering/editing text the spacebar will not work in the text editor. All other keys work, but the spacebar does not. Instead it triggers a page jump in the browser window itself.
This issue only occurs on Windows under FF 12.0
It all works perfectly fine on FF under OSX.
I was unable to find out why this would be happening. Perhaps somebody can give constructive input. Thank You!
This problem is a bug in TinyMCEs input handling and occurs in some cases when TinyMCE is being introduced to a document dynamically.
I have C# MVC web app that has some textboxes that in IE9 you can enter in text, but you can't highlight via the mouse or via holding shift and the arrow keys.
I've looked around on the web and i've found other people experiencing this, with no solution.
One site i found claimed it was an issue with IE9 on pages that make multiple AJAX calls, which my site has but, removing AJAX really isn't a solution.
Is there a way via code or via settings in IE9 so that users can highlight text in a textbox? Or is this an outstanding bug in IE9?
Edit:
The website works perfectly fine in chrome
Turns out it was a rogue jquery statement that was
(.someClass).disableSelected()
that was disabling selection on every single textbox in my site. The kicker being that IE and Chrome handled it one way and Firefox a different way making it seem like a different bug
I had the same issue.
Select Tools on the IE bar / F12 developer tools. under the tab ( Document Mode IE9 standards ) check marked Alt+9. Closed the developer box. Closed IE9 opened it back up and everything worked as it should.
Hope this helps.
So basically been working on this issue for far too long now and nothing I do seems to fix the issue.
Basically if you go to http://www.completeenergy.co.uk and click on the "Get a Quote" button then try to enter details into the form nothing happens. You can not click on the inputs and or select anything within the form. This seems to happen in both IE7 and IE8.
Any ideas as to why this would happen when all other browsers seem to be working fine?
Okay, I seem to have accidentally come across the culprit. There was some strange conflicting issues arising from using the jquery pngfix. I made it so only versions lower than IE 7 can use it and boom, it starts working again.
Thanks for the help though.
not sure, but it worked fine for me in IE8. Do you have any toolbars installed?
This common issue is usually due to a z-index bug in IE. Try giving the input relative positioning and assigning a higher z-index.
I was clicking on a form on a company intranet web site and nothing was happening.
Intranet defaults IE into compatibility mode, so the form was broken.
You can force edge compatibility in your browser or with HTML and IE behave like modern browsers.
