Annoying javascript bug
Several ohloh pages (home, forums) automatically set the input focus into a text field (search project, search posts, ...) after loading the page. The intention of this may be good, but that's of absolutely no use if I have already scrolled down half the page, because the focus setting also leads to scrolling back to the top of the page.
So please add a check to your javascript code so that the text field only gets the input if the scrollbar is still at the topmost position.
Th
i hate that behavior too. I hadn't thought of the scrollbar check - that's pretty clever. Would you prefer we just yank the whole focusing behavior? I kinda would...
Yes, I'd prefer removing it completely, if that's an option.
To my mind this focusing only really makes sense on pages where input is mandatory (e.g. on the create new project
page, the login page or similar ones). But even then I might already have entered some text when the onload event is finally fired, so also then it should be checked that the currently focused control isn't one of the other form input elements.
BTW: In general ohloh makes clever use of Javascript (nicely formatted input help and other things), so don't let this issue stop you adding more little scripts.
