when down at the individual element level which only contain text nodes yes, its a problem we are working on.

Thanks, Steve. You’re right - it does work, but it takes a while to take the focus. I hadn’t let the cursor rest on an object long enough to receive focus. That may be a good thing to mention in your post — that time delay may well be confusing for many people.

I guess that the innerHTML view is pretty much useless as a code view in Firefox, then — but that’s good to know.

It’s still pretty clearly the case that F5 does not enable the cursor view, however.

hi Joe , thanks for the write up and the feedback! The cursor view should work. suggest enabling the highlight rectangle so you can see where the cursor focus is. the highlight rectangle should settle on an element when you stop moving the cursor for a few seconds.

sounds like you are using it with firefox? the code view show (innerhtml)in firefox so the innerhtml of a link is the text.
