in: domapi.comps.window._free = function(arg){

this.titleBar._free();

Firefox does not like the above line. Stating in Console:

this.titleBar._free is not a function - like 154 window.js

Another on - dropdown.js

domapi.comps.dropdown._ondafocus = function(){
try{
this.edit.focus();

Does not like edit.focus(). States: "Permission denied to set property XULElement.selectedIndex when calling method: nsIAutoCompletePopup::selectedIndex - location: .../domapi/src/hui/dropdown.js :: anonymous :: like 107 :: data no

This issue has been a long-runing one with FF thru 1.5 and has to deal with FF's autocomplete feature. The bug is (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236791). Keep in mind tho, this problem generates a pesky exception, but does not halt execution.

To avoid this error, you have to turn off autocomplete.

from javascript, you can do that in following way:

obj.setAttribute('autocomplete','off');

FYI: I am running FF 1.5.0.6, I have from RC1 all the way to the latest release from FF/BugZilla guys :-P

I have dropped IE support - it is just too slow!

Speaking of AutoComplete - have another question about drop downs.

Is ther a magic keystroke to allow me to type upon focus of a combobox?

I would like to support

1. onfocus, drop down automatically
2. also, on keystroke, if not dropped down, drop down
3. if keystroke=CR then close dropdown (validate if needed) then advanced to next field

Any suggestions?

Doug, what did you mean by: you can simply set autocomplete="off" in HTML.

put that in the first line of the script - or ? (I do not want to modify every component, so I want to try your "global" approach.

Thanks,
Ozz
