I am almost finished working on a website for a client. I am in my final stages of cross-browser bug testing. I noticed that in IE6 you can't edit any of the form fields in the contact form. I have no idea why. I know it's not because of the external javascript because I've removed all events from the form fields and it does nothing.

I've posted this in the CSS forum because I'm wondering if there's an element that's overlaying over the top of these elements that makes it so you can't actually get to them, if you know what I mean, but I don't know how to determine if this is the cause. Additionally, I set position:relative and z-index: 1000 on the form elements, and that didn't help.

Ideas/suggestions/pity welcome. Thanks.

I viewed this in IE6 and was able to edit the fields..... the only difference was that the fields did not clear on click.

Interesting, thanks for that KDLA, I can't edit the fields in my IE6 standalone....and thus can't change my javascript to make sure that they do clear on click...

FYI - I just tried it at home with IE7 and got the same result: editable fields, but lacking the javascript onclick clear function.
