In an application we use at work we have various textboxes, with dropdown buttons right next to them.
Our users are frequently accidentally pressing the X added by IE10 and clearing what they typed.
IE10 adds a clear button to all textboxes:
In our application it is right next to the dropdown button, meaning it's often clicked by accident:
Is there a way of hiding/disabling/removing the X? Ideally something we can push out via a policy.
Note that we have no control over the application they are having trouble with.
Maybe your users need to be more careful. I'm sure they manage to click maximize rather than the red X to close IE10, it's no different. – Simkill – 2013-03-20T09:13:42.770
3I would like to tell them this, but I don't think they'd think of that as very helpful. I can see their point of view though, clearing is a very rare operation, they nearly always need to click the dropdown. It's silly to have the less common action button right next to the very common one so if I can avoid it, I'd like to. :) – George Duckett – 2013-03-20T09:15:34.997
