Quirky firfox input text box issue - No Cursor!

[LoveToCode]

Yeah this is a weird one. I hope there is a workaround!

There is a TEXTBOX on this page when you click "Send Message" that appears in a pop up div. When the textbox has focus and you are typing, the cursor does not appear. Its very annoying! Please tell me there is a simple explanation for why this is happening.

Here an example page - click on "Send Message":

It says "You must be logged in to perform this function".

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

It has to have something to do with your css.

Check all the css definitions for all your defined elements in between the div with id="sendMessage"

Look for a cursor:none line.

(probably in #message and/or #subject)

Hey MonkSnake,

I agree with you - its prolly in the CSS, but there is no "cursor: " property assigned to any elements on that page... doesn't the cursor property define the mouse cursor, not the blinking cursor?

Here is the CSS for that div's inputs:

.popup input, .popup textarea, .popup select {
	display: block;
	margin: 5px;
	width: 360px;
}

thank you!!

Yeah, I'm being stupid again.

I found out what the problem is:

All the flash items in your page is making the cursor go nuts. You can see what I mean by removing them, sadly I don't have any idea of how to keep this from happening.
