    [CLOSED] TextAreafield with an div overlay in front

    Hello support :-)

    I have a problem, with the textareafield.

    If i make a div and put in front of the textareafield like a overlay the caret seems to disappear.
    but this is only in firefox, chrome.

    In IE i can clearly see the caret blinking and where it is in the field.

    Do you guys have any idea why this is so...

    The div i have made is click trough, so i can click into the textarea and put the caret inside it
    and it works in chrome, firefox and IE..

    So the my question is why cant i see the caret, when i can type into the field and see the text appear...

    The code for making the div in front of the textareafield is like so..
    
    
    
    LIA.TextArea._comp // this is component that holds the Ext.form.field.TextArea
    
    var owner = LIA.TextArea._comp;
    
    //Config for the div
    var htmlConfig = {
            id: LIA.TextArea._comp.id + "_divHtml",
            autoEl: "div",
            renderTo: owner.bodyEl,
            overflowY: 'auto',
            style: {
                position: 'absolute',
                'pointer-events': 'none',
                top: "0px",
                left: "0px",
                "white-space": "pre-wrap;",
                "word-wrap":"break-word",
                "border": "1px solid black;",
                paddingTop: "4px",
                paddingRight: "6px",
                paddingLeft: "35px"
            }
        }
    LIA.TextArea._htmlOverlay = Ext.create('Ext.container.Container', htmlConfig); // this generates the div

    No idea. Could you, please, provide a full test case?

    I did find out that setting the color to transparent makes the caret vanish
    But the reason why i do not know.
    Any idea why.... :-)

    Best regards

    Well, it looks like FireFox and Chrome applies "color: transparent;" on the caret, but IE doesn't. I guess it is unlikely there is a way to overcome it.

    Yes i thought that as well

    My guess is that since they both are using geko the rule apply both :-)

    Thanks for the quick support and keep up the good work

    You can close this one :-)
