Profound Logic Forums

We have been getting complaints that users can't over type fields when using Chrome or Edge unless the text is first selected. So users tend to use IE which does allow over-typing all the time, but it is in end of life. We have noticed that applications that we have converted allow over-typing when a user tabs into a field because the text is automatically selected; we can also use this.select( ) with on-focus to select the text when the user clicks into the field.

Is there a setting within the other browsers that allow over type? Is there some kind of function or a setting that we could use within Genie and our converted screens?

Thanks for replying Scott.

We tried that but it did not seem to work for us.
we found a setting in Genie Administrator called Highlight on Focus, we set it to True. This allows over-typing when user tabs into the field or when user clicks on the field. works in multiple browsers (IE, Chrome).

When we convert screens the field is selected when tabbing into field, but doesn't select field when user clicks into it. If we set ON Focus to this.select() then we are able to click into field to select it. We are hoping that there is some setting that sets this globally without having to add it to every field. Your thoughts?
