I have a form that I structured using a div wrapped around each label-input pair. I floated the labels, so in order to make the divs contain the floats, I added overflow: auto to them. This worked fine, but it resulted in the divs receiving focus as I tried to tab from form field to form field in Firefox. This was mildly annoying, so I replaced it with floating the divs, which also contained the floats and didn't have such a side effect.
But I'm curious whether Firefox's behavior is correct. Are elements with overflow: auto supposed to receive focus? Or are they not? Or is it just one of those things not specified and left up the browsers themselves? I couldn't find anything about it on w3.org, but I'm admittedly not the best at looking around there. If you'd like to see the "effect" in action, here's a simplified page that demonstrates it: http://www.pixelsurge.com/experiment/overflow-focus-form.html Thanks, Zoe -- Zoe M.
