]]>- In IE 6+, all timesheets now accept the focus for the scrollable area and will respect the mouse or keyboard scroll device as long as the mouse pointer is in the scrollable area.
- For Firefox and other Mozilla and Gecko based browsers, placing the focus in the scrollable area is sufficient to allow scrolling with a scroll device regardless of the mouse pointer position. However, these browsers do not accept focus on the scrollable area for the collapsed timesheet if no project has been opened.
- We have not yet gotten Safari to accept using a scroll device in a scrollable div tag, but we are working on it!
We will continue to investigate, but the differences in the way browsers and versions implement the W3C standards makes it difficult to handle all possible input devices uniformly.
The fact that the page is scrollable (in addition to the timesheet entry area) was intentional as we wanted to make the input area as large as possible on the page. Making the scrollable area of the timesheet smaller (and thus making the page fit within the browser window) appears to have no affect on whether or not the wheel works in the timesheet scrollable area
Thanks again for taking the time to get in touch with us. The change we’ve introduced because of your feedback will make the system better for everybody.
