My guess, based on my user's wants, is that what they actually want is for the whole field to be highlighted when they click it. Then they can just start typing, replacing whatever was their previously. OTOH, if the really did mean to click in the middle of a word, they click a second time. This is how Firefox handles the URL line, so it's not that unusual a procedure. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
