HTML input fields does not get focus when clicked

Question

I have a problem and I can\'t figure out what exactly is causing this behavior. I cannot access my input fields and textareas on my HTML form.

Unfortun

Answer 1

This will also happen anytime a div ends up positioned over controls in another div; like using bootstrap for layout, and having a "col-lg-4" followed by a "col-lg=8" misspelling... the right orphaned/misnamed div covers the left, and captures the mouse events. Easy to blow by that misspelling, - and = next to each other on keyboard. So, pays to examine with inspector and look for 'surprises' to uncover these wild divs.

Is there an unseen window covering the controls and blocking events, and how can that happen? Turns out, fatfingering = for - with bootstrap classnames is one way...
