Boolean type Edit by clicking issue on Firefox/Safari

[yuwong]

From the Edit Feature tutorial http://ui-grid.info/docs/#/tutorial/201_editable on Firefox/Safari, the Active column's boolean value is not changeable by clicking. It can only be edited when in focus using the spacebar. The checkbox appears to work fine on Chrome using clicks.

That's interesting. The behaviour I see in Safari is that I double click on the field, which brings up the editable checkbox. But when I then single click on the field it seems to immediately lose focus rather than toggle the value - so something is stealing the click from the checkbox. Is that the behaviour you're seeing?

The dropdown and the number editor are accepting clicks. The date editor doesn't appear to be showing for the date field - I get just a standard input field.

yes, that's exactly it, seems ok in Chrome though...
It's almost like blur happened before the check/unchecking of the box is registered

I think the problem is html5 widgets - and the fact that Safari and IE don't implement some of the html5 widget types. Does that sound correct?

Closing, no further comments for 2 weeks, and no plausible path to a resolution using the vanilla widgets. Could be addressed with custom templates.

Thanks Paul, decided against using the Boolean type altogether now

Anyone know how to resolve this? Custom templates or not.

I'm willing to contribute code if anyone knows where the issue lies.
