Missing cursor in Netscape

EwS · Oct 27, 2004

When I load my page, I want to put the cursor in one of the text fields - I'm doing it in the onLoad event. It doesn't work in Netscape (works in Explorer, Mozilla, Opera, Safari). What is weird is that in Netscape when I click in any of the text fields, I don't see the cursor, but it's there because I can type somehting into the field. It's happening only on one page - I see the cursor on my other pages. I don't see how page-specific code could interfere with the cursor.

function setDefaults() {
document.edit.customer.focus();
}

<body onLoad=setDefaults();>
<form name="edit">
<input type="text" class="edit" name="customer" id="customer" size=18 maxlength=15>
...
</form>
</body>

That code worked for me in:

Netscape 7.2
Internet Explorer 6.0.2800
FireFox 1.0 PR
Netscape Communicator 4.8

I saw a 'blinking cursor' in every instance.

Thanks cLFlaVA - there must be something specific to this page (I gave you just an excerpt) that's causing the problem, I'll look at it.
