Unknown INPUT tag attribute: CURSOR TRANSMIT

Question

I inherited an ASP classic application created in Visual Studio 6.0, I believe.

There is an INPUT text tag in a form with attributes I don't quite recognize:

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="OPERATOR_CODE" SIZE="12" MAXLENGTH="12" TRANSMIT CURSOR>

What is this TRANSMIT CURSOR attribute and what does it do?

Answer 1

These are two different attributes - TRANSMIT and CURSOR. Can't help with their meaning through. Might be used by specific page JavaScript.

Answer 2

As far as I know these are not standard attributes. Maybe they were placed there for some other meaning.

Answer 3

It's two separate attributes. It's not some wierd Interdev stuff is it? Perhaps setting the default focus and databinding.

Just a guess though :-)

Answer 4

If it's only in one place, I would probably chalk it up to a typo. TRANSMIT and CURSOR are not valid input attributes and won't affect the rendering in any major browser.
