TextField Focus Not Set in Firefox 3

M

Mickey Segal

There is a Java-related problem with the latest Firefox beta. The problem
is that focus is not set for TextFields when requested. I've written up the
details, along with a working applet and full source code at
www.segal.org/java/TextFieldFocus/.

I have several questions:
1. Can others confirm this? (Firefox 3 beta 2 is available at
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html). I didn't notice the
problem in Firefox 3 beta 1. I'm using the latest build of Java 1.7 on
Windows Vista (build 24 from http://download.java.net/jdk7/binaries/).
2. Does one report this to Firefox, Sun or both?
3. Are there workarounds or do we just wait for the problem to be fixed?

I'd report it to Sun in the first instance.
3. Are there workarounds ..

JS (to specifically call focus to the applet)?
JWS (mentioned more for people searching this thread).

BTW - that HTML is invalid. An example is more credible
when it uses a defined standard of HTML. The errors are
minor (presuming HTML 3.2), and the structure is well
formed, but I recommend making it entirely valid.
