Text field behavior change
In Firefox 11 (and maybe recent earlier versions) I notice that I cannot directly type or paste into text fields any longer. First you need to click on the field to activate it and then you can type/paste. Can anyone explain how this can be changed back to the old behavior where the field is active when hovering on it? I'm guessing that there is a config option, but I'm not sure what it is. Thanks.

If you put 'about:config' (without the quotation marks) in the address bar, it will show you a _TON_ of configuration options. If you type something into the Filter box, it will show you the options whose names include what you type in the box. For 'focus', I see a bunch of options, the first and last of which might be similar. Be cautious about what you do there and remember what you change in case you need to change it back. The behavior you refer to might be OS-dependent. As an example, on Linux, Edit->Preferences gets you to the Preferences panel. On Windows, Tools->Options takes you there. For future questions, it might help to specify the OS you're using. My suspicion, and it's just a suspicion, is that the developers (or maybe marketing) has decided for you what the behavior will be. Focus-on-pointer is more consistent with X (Unix and Linux), while focus-on-click is more consistent with Doze. Unfortunately, in some areas, Firefox seems to be moving browser behavior to be more consistent with Doze. HTH -- Robert Riches spamtrap42@jacob21819.net (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.)

Robert: Thanks for the great response. You are absolutely correct that I should have indicated the OS. It is Solaris 10 on a Sparc machine, running Firefox 11. I had tried to look in about:config before posting, but stupidly did not think to filter on the word "focus". The two options you mention: accessibility,mouse_focused_formcontrol false ui.key.menuAxxessKeyFocuses false do both seem like likely candidates. However, changing either or both to true did not affect the behavior of the browser. So, does anyone else have any idea of what it takes to get Firefox to obey focus-on-pointer for all text fields, including the URL bar? Thanks. -- Jeffery Small

ASE text field to ASA text field
Hi I'm having problems populating an ASA text field with data from an ASE text field using CIS(component integration services) from ASE to link up to ASA. After running the SQL statement it appears to put NULLS in the ASA field. All other data types appear to work fine.

Can I change a treeview's text size depending on what my browser's text size is set to?
I'm using a treeview on a .net 2.0 page and all is working fine with it in Internet Explorer. However if I go to View --> Text Size --> Largest on my browser's menu, all the text on my page appears huge apart from the text in the treeview which remains the same size as it always was. Is there a way to fix this so that this text will also increase in size? Many Thanks. Make sure the font size is not set in the control. And use css to help moderate your pages look and feel.
