Cannot click or select inputs on IE 8 Form - internet-explorer-8

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.

Page suddenly scrolls back to top

So I have successfully built this business website, integrated payment gateways and I have things working just as I need them to but there's a little albeit annoying problem, when scrolling down the webpage on a mobile device, the page suddenly scrolls back up. I thought this was a problem without my chrome browser so I used other browsers still the issue persists. I currently don't know how to fix this irksome issue. Here's a link to the webpage. Sorry to bother you with my problem.
I already fixed it, it was a problem from setting the HTML style behavior to smooth. Thank you all for your intended help!

Shadowbox not working in Firefox

I have a strange problem.
I have integrated shadowbox plugin into my drupal web and it works with Opera, Chrome and IE9, but it doesn't work with Firefox 14.
I've noticed that in Firefox rel="shadowbox" attribute is not added to the link of an image, so that should be the reason.
How could I solve this?
The whole idea of Shadowbox is (usually) that you if add the rel="shadowbox" to a link, it will show the Shadowbox. Are you really sure that the attribute is not added in Firefox? Because if that is the cause, you're probably doing something extremely weird at the server side.
Are you trying to add the attribute using some client side code? Because then maybe that code gets execute after Shadowbox registers its event bindings. You might consider changing that code to really add shadowbox to the link, instead of just setting the attribute. Shadowbox provides a fairly decent API to do exactly that.

TinyMCE not capturing spacebar/whitespace keypress

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.

Unable to highlight text in textboxes in IE9

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.

jQuery Marquee - Resets after four entries in Firefox

Good evening everyone.
I am puzzling over the oddity that the jQuery Marquee plugin, which was working fine, suddenly resets itself after showing only four of six entries here: http://site427.mysite4now.net/tazthedog/site1/ (click on the Upcoming Events tab in the lower-right hand corner).
This works correctly in IE and Chrome on a PC, but in Firefox on a Mac and PC it resets after four.
Any ideas why it resets?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Doesn't seem to be a problem for me in Chrome 5. What browser are you seeing this bug in?
Edit:
Ah, I got it in Firefox. Could be any number of things. Looks like it might be an edge detection thing. Or the height they pull from the page isn't the proper height needed for the animation. Chrome displays this properly, so you might want to check the "hitedge" and "height" variables to make sure they are properly assigned and defined. It could also be a timing thing or some sort of event delay with Firefox. Try upgrading to the latest version of jquery 1.4.2 to see if that resolves anything.
