PRB: Cursor Positioning Is Affected When the RespectVisibilityInDesign Parameter Is Used With the contentEditable Attribute (832003)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming) 6 (SP1)

SYMPTOMS

When the RespectVisibilityInDesign parameter (the IDM_RESPECTVISIBILITY_INDESIGN command ID) is activated on a Web page in design mode (the contentEditable attribute of the document is set to true) and you try to use the arrow keys, the cursor does not move through the elements that have the display property set to none. However, you can position the cursor in position that you want by clicking the mouse.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, you may set the visibility property to hidden on these elements instead of setting the display property.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
