Weird FireFox text input Problem

Hello,

I’ve got a weird problem that I’ve never come across before…

I’ve created a page with a hidden div on it that is displayed at certain times (after a button is clicked). The div is displayed on top of a semi opaque div that covers the whole of the page (this is created and added to the page when the hidden div is shown). The effect is very similar to the lightbox technique. To prevent select boxes showing through the opaque overlay in IE6 I’m also using an iframe shim.

The only problem I have is that in FireFox, the text input fields on my lightbox div do not have the flashing carat in them. You can select the inputs and enter text into them, it just looks a little odd not having a carat in them when they are selected.

Anyone else come accross this? I can’t really post any code as it is part of a commercial project but any advice would be enormously appreciated.

I’m using the prototype library quite heavily in places too although I don’t think this is the problem. The carat is present in all other browsers….
