ValidationTextBox: label node surrounding ValidationTextBox / focus problems after validation error

Description

When a validation text box is focussed on, then blurred when the validation is not valid, it is impossible to refocus on the validation textbox.

	<script type="text/javascript">

		dojo.require("dijit.form.Form");
		dojo.require("dijit.form.TextBox");
		dojo.require("dijit.form.ValidationTextBox");
	</script>

	<body class="tundra">

			
			<form method="post" action="/toad_auth.htm?do=process_login" id="login_form" jsId="login_form" encType="multipart/form-data" dojoType="dijit.form.Form">
				
					<p>
						<label>Company Name <br />
							<input type="text" name="company_name" value="" id="company_name" dojoType="dijit.form.ValidationTextBox" required="false" trim="true" propercase="true" maxLength="50" />
						</label>

					</p>
					<p>
						<label>Telephone<br />
							<input type="text" name="telephone" value="" id="telephone" dojoType="dijit.form.ValidationTextBox" required="true" invalidMessage="Telephone invalid." />
						</label>
					</p>
				</form>
	</body>
</html>

Steps:

  1. Click into telephone field.
  1. Click in company name field without typing anything in the telephone field.

2a. Note that validation warning is shown in telephone field - it is a required field

  1. Try to click into the telephone field again. When the tooltip shows, it removes focus from the text box, making it impossible to type into..

Replicated on: Fiefox 3.6, Chrome 6, Safari 5.0.2 (All on PC)

Works OK on: IE 8 (PC)

The same issue occurs with all themes.

After more testing it seems the issue is with the <label> tag around the dijit.

The error didn't occur with other tags I tried - just labels.

Priority: high → normal

That makes more sense; all our test cases have labels the other way (using for=...), so you should do that too (at least for a workaround). 

<label for="telephone">Telephone</label>
<br />
<input type="text" name="telephone" value="" id="telephone"
dojoType="dijit.form.ValidationTextBox" required="true" invalidMessage="Telephone invalid." />

There might be some other issues too w/the way you are doing labels, like breaking screen readers or something, but I need to look at the code to see.

Doug, not sure why you assigned this to me? It fails even if the Tooltip isn't displayed. Just something weird about that label and ValidationTextBox. Probably we should just close as wontfix? I thought there were other issues when the label surrounds the TextBox and that dijit only supports having them as siblings.

Double-clicking DOES work to focus the ValidationTextBox?. I'm adding this in the hope that it's a helpful comment.

I'm actually just happy to learn that there's a simple workaround to my mysterious focus problem.

Given that no one has shown interest in creating a patch in the past 4+ years, I'm closing this as patchwelcome.
