Unfocus search field in Safari when browsing RSS feeds
Authored by: Roquentin on Sep 29, '06 08:45:10AM

While it's true that the Search field won't receive the focus, neither it seems does the feed area. I've still got to click once somewhere in the feed area (carefully avoiding an article link) before the spacebar scrolling works.

no focus

I think the situation where there is no focus is when the page is still loading.
E.g. with my SlashDot feed, where there are almost 300 articles, it takes many seconds to finish loading.
The Javascript 'onload' function mentioned in this hint only runs after the page has finished loading.

Unfocus search field in Safari when browsing RSS feeds

i can confirm sartre's comment about there being no focus, even after the page has fully loaded. the same thing happens when using filterField.blur(); focus is mysteriously lost instead of transferring to the main content (which happens with most input fields).
