Overtype Mode

I am having a problem with overtype mode.
I set overtype mode to true Globally and on the skin properties.
However when I type in a textbox it acts as insert mode instead.
I also went back and set the screen properties to overtype mode and the same thing is happening.
Do I need to look for an over ride in Genie Custom.Js or somewhere else?
Any help would be appreciated to figure this out.

What browser/version are you using?

Genie's 'overtype' mode works only in Internet Explorer. As an alternative, you might consider using the 'highlight on focus' option in the Admin. What this does is to make Genie automatically select all text in a field when you tab to it. Then, you can type right over. This is the same behavior that you get in a typical web application.

Does this help?

Thanks,

Yes this helps. I am using Firefox Version 25.0.1.
The highlight on focus helped but not quite the same as over type.
