I know that, Ian. :-) As I said, I replaced the overflow with something else. My question was whether elements with overflow: auto set on them should automatically receive focus when tabbing. By the way, Ian, since I have your attention, can you please format your mail client to put greater than signs > before each line of text of the previous poster's text? This is an established way of marking quoted text. As you can see from the quoted text above, without those > your text blends in completely with my text, making it impossible to see where my text ends and yours begins. This makes reading your messages to the list extremely difficult, and I'm sure I'm not the only member of the list who would appreciate it if you formatted your replies better. Thanks, Zoe -- Zoe M.
