Am using the contact_form plugin. Message field cannot be filled in in IE but works fine in Firefox. Try for yourself here: http://www.4seasonscreationsphotos.com/zenphoto/index.php?p=contact

I just did, and filled it in just fine using IE. You should have a contact as a result.

I myself and others on their PCs are seeing this. It's like the message field won't accept the 'focus' either by tabbing from the 'subject' field or by simply clicking in it. All other fields work fine in IE 8 and the entire form works fine in Firefox.

I really do not know what to tell you. I have just started up my Windows XP virtual machine, visited your page with IE6 and send a contact.

I have received the copies of the contacts I posted via IE9, so I know that worked. (I clicked on the field both times.) But just now I have tried tabbing and it takes me field to field no problem.

I suggest you try compatibility mode in IE. IE is a strange beast. Who knows what problems lurk therein. The html all looks proper.

You can also check the page via http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.4seasonscreationsphotos.com%2Fzenphoto%2Findex.php%3Fp%3Dcontact&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

it generates no errors.

Ok, I renembered I still have IE8 on my laptop, so I have tried it. And as you have observed, I cannot get to the message field. But if I turn on compatibility mode every thing works. So some kind of IE8 native bug. You could probably report it to Microsoft, but I suspect that will go on deaf ears, specially since it seems fixed in IE9 and you have a work-a-round.
