Perfect and as this is for a local intranet everyone has IE7 so many
thanks works great
Nevertheless, it is needlessly inefficient (and error-prone). Consider this
more efficient and slightly less error-prone solution:
<body onLoad="var o = document.getElementById('search');
if (o && o.focus) o.focus();">
Hmm. A "solution" that is still highly error-prone. Maybe you should
Google this thread and read it - in its entirety - to find out why it is
not as "simple" as you portray it to be. Just because an element has a
"focus" property doesn't mean you can set focus to it.
Nothing Thomas does surprises me anymore. And I do mean *nothing*.
input{
visibility: hidden;
display: none;
}
Damn that was rude
If that is in a user style sheet and there are no rules defined in the
application's style sheets, then that would indeed have a rude
effect. The user would have to be a lunatic though.
I don't think I've ever seen that.
That certainly seems the case here. That was the worst "isVisible"
function I have ever seen this side of Prototype. And of course there
was no call for it (the thread should have ended long before that
post.)
