*What is the Asian Scholarship Foundation?*

The Asian Scholarship Foundation (ASF) is an Asian-led non-profit
organization funded by a grant from the Ford Foundation that is mandated to:

- strengthen regional capacity to produce scholarly research on Asian
societies;
- create a network of Asian specialists on Asian Studies in Asia;
- develop a regional perspective among scholars working in the field
of Asian Studies.

ASF makes it possible for young and middle-level scholars, researchers and
professionals to undertake a research project or make a study, to conduct
seminars and workshops, to help build a network of Asian scholars in Asia in
the field of Asian Studies and/or to write papers on the Arts, Culture,
Humanities or Social Sciences in another Asian country in any of the grant
categories described here.

*Goals and Objectives*

The principal goal of the ASIA Fellows Awards is to increase the overall
awareness of intellectual resources in the countries of Northeast, South and
Southeast Asia and to contribute to the growth of long-range capabilities
for cross-regional knowledge sharing. The ASIA Fellows Awards seek to
develop regional expertise, establish a multilateral network of Asian
specialists from many disciplines, professional fields and countries,
stimulate interdisciplinary research and inter-societal comparison, and
contribute to new developments within existing area studies communities. The
awards offer opportunities for outstanding young and mid-career Asian
scholars, and professionals to gain knowledge of the countries in the region
and an understanding of the contexts that shape global and regional issues
through research. They enable the awardees to conduct research in a
participating Asian country for six to nine months.

*Eligibility *

- Citizens of and residents in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia,
the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos,
Malaysia, the Republic of Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the
Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and
Vietnam.
- Master’s/Doctoral degree or equivalent professional training and
experiences (minimum of 3 years of university teaching experiences for
scholars or 5 years of work experience for professionals.)

- Applicants must be 45 years old or younger at the time of the
application deadline. However, those up to 50 years old proposing to do
research in the field of Humanities may be given special consideration.

- Proficiency in English or in the language of the host country
appropriate to the proposed research project.

- Those who are currently enrolled in a degree program, or have just
completed a degree program for less than one to two years will not be
eligible to apply. Those who were a recipient of a Ford Foundation
fellowship grant within the last two years prior to the application is also
ineligible.

*Selection Process*
Regional Review Committees composed of leading scholars from participating
countries conduct an initial review of the applications. In mid-March, short
listed candidates are interviewed by the review committee for their region
at meetings in Beijing, New Delhi, and Bangkok. (The Asian Scholarship
Foundation covers the travel expenses of short listed candidates.) The
applications of recommended candidates are then forwarded to the
multi-regional Board of Directors which will make the final selection of
ASIA Fellows Awards recipients by May each year.

Hi Max,

Unfortunatly I can’t give an exact how to.
But I have experienced a similar issue right now.

I have made work-arounds for my over ride stylesheets.

Just catering for IE alone has wasted months of our development time.

Firefox is without a shadow of a doubt the best browser and if it is
purely internal as I have had project like that before then Firefox is
the way.
It runs on Linux, Mac and Windows so for internal apps we always use
it.

I hope the code above somehow points you in the right direction as I
know it is not the exact code you are looking for.

Regards
Uncle Mike

Uncle Mike -

Sorry for the delay. Work’s been crazy.

So here’s the thing. You need to set up two ‘event handlers’ on your
element in JavaScript, onfocus and onblur, that will manage the
‘class’ variable of the element as the user ‘focus’es and ‘blur’s
their way through the focusable elements. The reason this works is
that CSS2 defines a way to have multiple ‘class’ selectors on an
element by having a space separated list (and IE, even 6, supports
this):

….

So, for instance, in ActiveScaffold, your input element will already
have a class:

When the user focuses, you want this to be:

And when they ‘blur’ back out you want it to return to:

(note: ‘text-input-focus’ has no special meaning here, I just made it
up)

Step #1:

Instead of writing your rule:

input:focus {…..}

You write:

input.text-input-focus {…..}

Step #2:

Add 2 JavaScript functions to manage the class addition/removal:

Append our class to the elements class name (called ‘className’ in
JavaScript to avoid conflicts with the word ‘class’ in JavaScript),
prepending it with a space:

function addClass (anElement, aClassName)
{
anElement.className += ‘ ‘ + aClassName;
};

Removing is a little more tricky. We may have added other class names
after the one we’re changing, so to remove we use a JavaScript regex
object to suck out just the one we want to remove. Regexes can be
tricky, so don’t worry if this is somewhat unintelligible ;-) :

function removeClass (anElement, aClassName)
{
var removeRegExp;

removeRegExp = new RegExp(”(^|\\s)” + aClassName + “(\\s|$)”);

anElement.className = anElement.className.replace(removeRegExp, ‘$2′);
};

Step #3:

Last step - add JavaScript event handlers to the elements:

If you don’t want to modify the markup, or you can’t, there are ways
to set these event handlers up via JavaScript. I’m still not familiar
enough with ActiveScaffold to know exactly where to place this setup
code (I can supply the code, but I need to know where to ‘hook’ the
‘onload’ handler for the page), and I also don’t know if setting the
‘.onfocus’ and ‘.onblur’ handlers directly on these elements would
conflict with existing ActiveScaffold code. Maybe one the
ActiveScaffold guys can chime in here?

That should do it. Let me know if this works for you.

Cheers,

- Bill
