[CLOSED] The property "EmptyText" of a textfield is not cleared in the Firefox- and IE 9-Browser

[Woyciniuk]

Hello,

when I clicked in the textfield, the text of the property "emtpyText" is cleared. This action will happen in IE 10 and IE 11, but not in Firefox (ESR 31.4) and IE 9 browser.

<ext:TextField id="txt" runat="server" EmptyText="Enter Text here..">
</ext:TextField>

I think that the behavior in all browsers should be the same. Is this a bug?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi @Woyciniuk,

I think that the behavior in all browsers should be the same.

I would agree, but what behavior to choose? If we follow with IE, then Firefox users might complain and otherwise. In some cases it is difficult to decide what behavior is better to follow with and sometimes it is just difficult to implement it, if browsers introduce some new/special behavior.

It looks here is a related thread with a possible solution.

Hi Daniil,

You have right. We are facing the same problem we have to adapt our application to the behavior of the different browser. I have tried the workaround and the behavior is now the same in all browsers. Thank you for your help and you can close the case.
