Tomahawk Popup loss of focus

A while back I realized that when using the tomahawk popup component (t:popup) in my ADF faces page that I was having a problem: whenever I had a field (like an af:inputText) inside the popped-up region along with something else, I would get some behaviour I did not want: as soon as my cursor left the field (but stayed within the popup region) focus would leave the input field. This made it awkward when I wanted to have a search field in the popup. But I found a simple solution: in the inputText's onblur property, put the following code: try{ this.focus(); } catch(e){}

What this does is keep it there rather than lose focus. I would really like to know what code is making this field lose focus. I did some searching, but it was very slow going for me, and I needed a quick fix.

tomahawk t:popup component

If you have to remember something about the t:popup component: remember this: if you use it on a af:commandLink (or some command component...something that submits) and you click on that component, you will get an error when your page reloads (due to postback), if you are running on IE 6 or 7. "...Operation aborted"

The cause of this error seems to be that you are trying to run javascript before the DOM is all the way loaded.

It also seems to mess up the wysiwyg editor in JDeveloper 10g, but I can kinda get used to that...for what this popup component brings to the tables. It allows you to hover over an element and get a popup which will stay open until you leave it. Or you can make the popup go away when when you leave the driving element.

Anyway...everything is peachy in IE 8 and in the latest version of Firefox. :-)
