Although this is now being addressed, historically, focus-related events have been extremely poorly specified. Sequences of events, behaviour if an event handler calls a focus() or blur() method on something else - all undefined. Given that, it's unsurprising that it's all a mess. I implemented DOMFocusIn/DOMFocusOut too, but until this thread, I'd never heard of onfocusin. -- Stewart Brodie Software Engineer ANT Software Limited
