 That information was precious.
I have changed for onclick and forget about on focus, but on Firefox 3.6 on
Mac (I don't know about other OS), the onclick doesn't work, but the focus
did.
So, since your suspictions were about the interpretation of onFocus and
onClicl, I have just decided to do it, "step by step":

1) Show the input field.
2) Set the focus.
3) Set the click.

Like this:
function activaInput()
{
    document.candidaturaOnline.txtOutro.disabled=false;
    document.candidaturaOnline.txtOutro.focus=true;
    document.candidaturaOnline.txtOutro.click=true;
}

function desactivaInput()
{
    document.candidaturaOnline.txtOutro.disabled=true;
    document.candidaturaOnline.txtOutro.blur=true;
}

Now it works cross-browser.

;)

One last question if you don't mind:
Should we make the DOM Path like above, or should we use getElementById ?
Not relevant?


Thanks a lot for the info really precious.
