[pmwiki-users] Text box search

[Henrik Bechmann]

Waylan et. al.

I got a response from the Firefox forum. Not being able to search in a 
textarea is considered a bug (with a considerable amount of serious 
flaming going on apparently), but won't be fixed for a while. One of the 
developers in bugzilla says it's "on the radar" for Firefox 2.0. There 
are no extensions that I have been able to find that are credible.

In the meantime, I tried search in IE 6, and it searches in an edit box 
(textarea) just fine. Ugh.

Here's the bug area for Firefox if anyone is interested:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252371#c123

The moral of the story: use IE for complex wiki postings. Double Ugh.
