Locked Text box in FireFox (but its not disabled)

    Guys hopefully someone has seen this before:

    On my directory site: pghsource.cagintranet*com/directory/ everything works great in IE (5.5,6,&7) and also in FF, or atleast i thought.

    The text boxes in FF seem to be locked. i can click into them - but typing on the keyboard produces nothing.

    That same text box (its <? php included.. on everypage in the site) works fine on other pages in the site, just not in the directory section.

    Has anyone seen this before?

    Try removing the extra quotation mark in the <form> tag ;)

    I'm not 100% sure, but I'll willing to bet that quote it keeping Firefox from treating the text box properly, since technically, the input tag is part of a quote instead of being its own element.

    But I think that should work...
    My problem: my Computer says that your URL doesn't exist?
    If you fix that I look at it tomorrow!
    greetings,
    lionstarr
    EDIT:Funny, know it works...
    I think the Problem is the <p> tag before the saerch box:
    It doesn't close hierachhallly ( did i spell the word correctly ? )
    And , of course the " quote is a proble, too : as the_pm said

    As soon as i saw the double quotes, i thought - Thats It!
    ... but it wasnt

    I then added the closing </p> ... still no go.

    Thanks DPers for the suggestions though. I just scoured my code again, and am seeing nothing out of the ordinary there.

    (for those looking at my code, i appologize - its ugly)

    I think it may be something else on the page causing the problem, I copied the form code into a test file and found the search form worked fine on its own in FF. I know this isn't a fix for the problem but it may give you a pointer in the right direction.

    You have something in the javascript that's catching all onkeypress or onkeydown events and returning false. You also cannot tab through links nor use browser hot keys. I noticed some ugly browser sniffing with some onkey&#8230; tests. Maybe something there?

    If you turn javascript off, all works well.

    cheers,

    gary
