    I've noticed that IE9 has issues with textareas when I leave the cursor within a textarea and after a postback occurs.  I cannot enter text into the fields and there is no code on the server that would disable the controls. I cannot even place the cursor within the textarea after the postback. The textfields are within an AJAX update panel. When is Microsoft planning on releasing a fix for this issue and in the meantime, is there a work around?

    I cannot even place the cursor within the textarea after the postback.

    Turn off the Panning Hand pointer (Alt-V,n to toggle) or turn on Caret Browsing (F7 to toggle) and move the pointer via keyboard commands.
