IE8 focus event issue

[daitam]

Hello, I have problems with IE8 and Opera not reacting to focus event, when clicking on TextArea. Chrome and FF behaves as expected. Here is the code:

this.txtValue = "Blank textarea...";
this.txtValue2 = "Blank textarea2...";
this.txtCoords = new Ext.form.TextArea({
                    id: "txtCoords",
                    value: this.txtValue, 
                    listeners: {
                        scope: this,
                        focus: function(){
                        if(this.txtCoords.getValue() == this.txtValue || this.txtCoords.getValue() == this.txtValue2){
                            this.txtCoords.setValue("");
                            Ext.getCmp("txtCoordsId").getEl().dom.style.color = 'black';
                            };
                        },
                        blur: function(){
                        if(this.txtCoords.getValue() == ""){
                                if(this.cmbKoordTipas.getValue() == "g1"){
                                    this.txtCoords.setValue(this.txtValue);
                                    Ext.getCmp("txtCoordsId").getEl().dom.style.color = 'grey';
                                }else{
                                    this.txtCoords.setValue(this.txtValue2);
                                    Ext.getCmp("txtCoordsId").getEl().dom.style.color = 'grey';
                                }    
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    style: "font-size:11px; color:grey;"
                });

I'm making a replacement for emptyText, because I need to dynamically change TextArea's value when it's empty. EmptyText submits to the server ant that is not that I want I appreciate any help on this issue. Maybe I should be using another event?
p.s. Blur works fine.

Anyone?

So the focus event is not firing? A quick test with IE8 I get the focus event firing for me using 3.4.1

Maybe more than one focus events fires? Any way to delay focus event when focusing?
