Description

An inline edit field containing only a space character is niether discoverable nor activatable using the mouse

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open the inline edit springboard:
http://build.fluidproject.org/infusion/demos/inlineEdit/simple/demo.html

2) Click on one of the inline edit fields and replace the text with a space character

    Would ensuring that componentThat.model.value (InlineEdit.js line 527) is not empty after trimming whitespace be appropriate?

    • if (componentThat.model.value) {
      + if (componentThat.model.value && (jQuery.trim(componentThat.model.value) !='')){

    Bug Parade 0.8 release

    This is fixed, though I definitely request a code review!

  • Jacob Farber commented 2009-02-13T11:38:20.000-0500

    Code was reviewed, and it looks good.

    It doesn't seem to be working for the themed inline edit scenarios and the sakai announcements version doesn't get highlighted on mouse over when there is only a space char. These occur in at least IE 7 (Win Vista).

    I have checked this out in FF2, FF3 and Opera and IE6 and it looks ok. Downgraded to minor since only occuring on 1 platform.

  • Justin Obara commented 2009-02-18T13:17:29.000-0500

    This still occurs on Safari as well

  • Justin Obara commented 2009-04-02T10:43:03.000-0400

    Resetting to major, because with a lack of keyboard accessibiltity, it is impossible to re-open it in edit mode in Safari

    I just revisited this after the 1.4 release, and I'm unable to reproduce it. Justin, if you concur, do you want to close it?

  • Anastasia Cheetham commented 2011-10-17T09:06:54.824-0400

    Testing this after 1.4, it still seems to be ocurring. The cursor does change to a pointy-finger, but you can't seem to actually click anywhere that does anything.
