Item focus is lost when switching container

[Moxide]

Reference : http://forum.wymeditor.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=80 In Mozilla, when switching a container, focus is lost, so you must click on the container to give the focus back to it.

This piece of (hacky) code might do the trick :

function setFocusToNode(node) {
  if (moz) {
    r=document.createRange();
    r.selectNode(node);
    sel=iframe().contentWindow.getSelection();
    sel.addRange(r);
    sel.collapse(node,0);
    iframe().contentWindow.focus();
  }
}

Attached is a modified 'wym.js' file, implementing the function above (for WYMeditor 0.2.2), in case someone wants to see this function in action.

Great! I've created 0.2 branch and added the code. Changed a little:

sel.collapse(node, 1);

I think it's more convenient than setting the caret at the beginning of the container. OK?

[Moxide]

Ok ;-)

I tested it, but the cursor was not displayed at the end of the container, but at the end of its first child. The following seems to work :

sel.collapse(node,node.childNodes.length);

However, it does not work when switching the last container of the page (then, the cursor is set to the beginning of this container).

For IE, the following will roughly do the same :

if (ie) {
    r=document.body.createTextRange();
    r.moveToElementText(node);
    r.collapse(false);
    r.move('character',-1);
    r.select();
    node.focus();
  }

I've adapted Moxide changes to the current trunk. It works perfectly on Mozilla. Couldn't test it on IE

Great! Applied the patches and fixed MSIE version (trunk). See r257, r259, r261.
