Title: Text input can't be selected in IE (html+css)

Thanks anyway but  I think I've figured it out, above the area I've got a <ul> with each <li> set to display inline for 4 tabs, it's abs. positioned and I reckon some padding/margin is covering the hit area to focus. I'm not sure yet, but removing the styles for that area has got the inputs working again.

Hi,
I have a problem that's got me totally confused, I have a login and a password input in the header of my design.

There's no _javascript_ involved at all, you can't seem to select the inputs, what I have noticed though is that if you give them an initial value then you can select it only where there's characters, if the user deleted them all though, they can't use the input anymore. Even if they had selected it and deleted back, they wouldn't be able to type.

Has anyone ever heard of this? If not I'll post code.

Thanks,

Jamie
