            Description

             <ice:form>
                            <ice:inputText id="idWhereLocationTextBox" styleClass="inputTextBox width90"
                                           value="#{myBean.whereLocation}"
                                           onfocus="javascript:clearTxt(this.id);"
                                           onblur="javascript:getTxt(this.id);"/>
                        </ice:form

            and

             <script>
                            function clearTxt(varI){
                                alert('onFocus:' + varI);
                            }

                            function getTxt(varI) {
                                  alert('onBlur:' + varI);
                            }
              </script>

            In Firefox 3.0.8, the alert will return "onFocus:undefined" and in IE7 "onFocus j_id11" which is the ID of the form tag.

              Are you wanting the event target?

              Yes, so in this case 'this' would refer to the calling inputText component.

              In a plain HTML test, using 'this' in the onfocus attribute refers to the <input> (or <a>, or any focusable) element that just received focus. Under ICEfaces, 'this' refers to the window object in FF and to the containing <form> element in IE. This applies to both: elements rendered as part of ICEfaces components and to stand-alone elements hard-coded in the page. I guess the intention of the test app is to get a reference to the <input> element.

              This issue seems to be started from a commit related to the issue ICE-4102 "Capture focus for any element that can receive it" (rev. 18359).

              Execute previously registered listeners so that 'this' variable points to the right element instance.
