There was no "condescension" intended in any of my prior messages on this
group, and neither will this be. It will be just harsh or annoyingly bitter
for having to repeat myself (in vain) for the third time.

No. _Basically_ what I was trying to do was to point that "what to do upon
focusing a control element" it's a HIG issue.

More than that, I even provided an answer to your particular issue: to
attach a "focus" observer that should change focusing behaviour in the
manner you wanted.

You replied confirming my supposition that accessibility guidelines are
beyond you, so I tried once again to make you understand this is not a
Prototype/SAU issue, but yada-yada.

More than that, being in a cheerful HTH mood, I took the time forging an
example presenting how to "attach a 'focus' observer on that element to do
that (you know, the usual selection/text range operations)".
Yes, *THAT*, and NOT an example on "how to go about overriding existing
functions" (how low can you go?) :(

Example: focus a single-line-control-element using keyboard under ...

a) Microsoft Windows XP
- - Run: Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> "General"
- - use "Tab" (or/and "Shift-Tab") to focus the input field containing
the "Home page Adress" value.

b) GTK/Gnome on GNU/Linux
- - Run: Mozilla Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> "Main"
- - use "Tab" (or/and "Shift-Tab") to focus the input field containing
the "Home Page" value.

c) QT/KDE on GNU/Linux
- - Run: Opera -> Tools -> Preferences -> "General"
- - use "Tab" (or/and "Shift-Tab") to focus the input field containing
the "Home Page" value.

etc.

Andrew, I'm still not being condescending. Cheers.
