Focus in search textbox and Internet Explorer

[harrison]

The search box does not get focus with Internet Explorer if the user clicks on the extreme left part of the textfield. They must click a small distance to the right of the left border.

This is a fully patched Internet Explorer 6.0 under Windoze XP. Plone is running on a RedHat Enterprise server. I see no such problems with Mozilla under Windoze or Linux.

Although I'm fairly new to administering Plone, I don't think I did anything to cause this. The site is pretty much "plain vanilla." I also searched this list and couldn't find any report of this behavior, which surprised me.

I believe this has been fixed in Plone 2.1, but it needs to be verified.

This has been fixed in Plone 2.1. At least I can't reproduce it anymore.

The error is currently occurring on www.litig.org. The only way to enter text in the searchbox is to click on the page and then use the tab key to move into the searchbox. The site is currently running Plone 2.1 on Zope 2.8.1.

Will test upgrading to Plone 2.1.2 to see if it solves the problem.

Searchbox works fine in FireFox - its only IE that appears to have the problem.

This is still a problem in IE and Plone 2.1.2. The Search box is obscured by the H1 #portal-logo that holds the Plone logo. If you use MS IE Developers Toolbar you can see that. Fixing it means giving the H1 a fixed width (you might not want that...) or giving it a display: inline instead of display: block. Problem is that this shifts the H1 and logo upwards. You're better of with an H1 width:1% if you can apply this to IE only. FF et al. minimize the picture then

Shows with blue border the width of H1 tag obscuring the search box
