I have a form located here: http://www.lcmaonline.org/donate.php
I have tried everything and have already validated my HTML and jSLinted my javascript. I can't figure out why I can't click or focus the input fields on this form. I'm going crazy so hopefully someone can enlighten me here. This works in IE 7 & 8, Firefox, and Safari (on PC and MAC). This is a client's website and I noticed the bug before they did so i'm trying to fix it before some with IE 6 tries to use this form. I have noticed that if I tab through it seems to tab into the fields but no cursor shows nor can I type anything into the fields. Please help! |

Does the form work in IE6 if you temporarily remove the JS and/or CSS?
Also there are some HTML syntax errors: http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.c....org/donate.php |

Also there are some HTML syntax errors: http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.c....org/donate.php That malformed content was being pulled from a wordpress blog. I removed it and it validated (other than target="_blank"). I removed all the CSS and Javascript and I still can't focus the form elements. Check out: http://www.lcmaonline.org/donate_none.php where I've removed all JS and CSS to no avail. The form fields still cannot be focused in IE 6. |

I just built this page: http://www.lcmaonline.org/just_form.php
I removed the table and used labels and still can't click in the fields. |

I don't have any problems with the original form you posted. I donated 0.01 to someone and I was sent to PayPal. IE6/XP.

I don't have access to MSIE, but my guess from what has been written here is that an element is getting positioned over the form elements. You can try adding background colors to each image to see if that helps you figure out what's going on.

Side-note: if you're using LABELs with the FOR attribute you must give the INPUT elements matching IDs. See http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/label.html |

Maybe things move in larger windows than I can use, but still, IE seems to allow clicking through a transparent overlay whereas FF and Opera don't, so I think it's something else. |

Thanks everyone. I'm back to working on it so I'll let you know what I find out.

Well, I feel better. I had been testing in a parallels installation of Windows XP and just had a chance to test it on a PC and it worked fine. That's a load off. Thanks again for everyone's help!

I've encountered this problem as well. I ended up figuring out that one of the parent div's my form was in was floated to the left. When I removed the float, the fields all seemed to work normally. Also adding position:relative to the style seemed solve the problem as well.
...dreaming of the day when we no longer need to support IE6. |

Come on! The page doesn't load but maybe that's for the best.

That was probably to be expected.
Anyway, that's the buzz I heard about lately, and MS even confirms it, pushing their users to upgrade. |

Hello to everyone.
I had the same problem. I could not enter anything in any input field. I also did not work in your sites for me: http://www.lcmaonline.org/donate_none.php No even when I saved them, to eliminate everything exept the < input > field. Well, it turned out that it worked well in every NATIVE Internet Explorer 6. But not in the "standalone" version. It made me a lot of headache and I hope it will help someone to avoid it. |

That's interesting. What could cause that? Thank you for reporting this. I for one rely on the standalones for testing in other versions than the IE6 I cling to.
