#12424 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Opera + Tabbing in Editors does not live happily

Reported by: dd32's profile dd32 Owned by: azaozz's profile azaozz

Description

Opera behaves differently from most modern browsers, It seems to ignore tab-canceling requests.

The result is that a Tab is inserted, and Opera moves focus to the next element.

One solution to this is to add a timeout to set the focus back to the textarea in a few milliseconds.

This is potentially buggy though, and has been suggested this could be a bug in Opera. (But has been around awhile)

Should probably be tied specifically to Opera if commited..

Try my patch. It's a less hacky approach.

Also, I took out the unnecessary "textarea" part of the query string. If you're querying for an element by ID, it only slows things down to add additional info for jQuery to parse.

And I added checks for two of the event methods not used by IE. Even if jQuery is doing something to catch the error (I don't know), better for performance not to throw it in the first place.

Also, I took out the unnecessary "textarea" part of the query string.

I was thinking the same thing, But wasnt sure if it had been written that way for some reason.

The onblur handler should work, that was the other suggested alternative to the timeout setfocus method.

I'll test that out this evening.
