Thanks - I had a situation where I added a dropdown field to a page using AJAX, then set focus to that field using a setTimeout. But as soon as I moved the mouse or pressed a key, focus was lost. Adding this part of your code right before the field.focus() command fixed it for me:

if (typeof(field.contentEditable) !== "undefined") {
field.contentEditable = false;
}

However, I still don't understand why that would change the behavior.

Thanks a lot!

thanks

I found that if you if you change the script in the function 'focusHandler' from:

document.activeElement = e.originalTarget

to:

e.originalTarget.focus = true;

The Firefox compatibility issues go away for me.

Good article! But, if performance is not an issue, how about using setTimeout to cause a brief delay, and then set focus to desired the control on the popup? See for an example:

Felipe, sample uses MS AJAX library scripts and you must load script via asp:ScriptManager. If you don't want to use MS AJAX libary you need to replace everything withpure JavaScript.

Great article! It appears to work well in the example, but in my project I copy and pasted your script and it couldn't find the 'Sys' object. Could you tell me what is it???
