Description postit-790 2009-11-30 11:06:14 UTC
Posted this on Wikipedia:Help desk, they directed me here.  I am copying and pasting from my post there.  I searched bugs, did not find this one:


I am having a problem, this has just started the last few visits (a week or so).

On some (most) pages... <br> 
example: <br>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test

The left hand "Search Box" is non-functional unless I disable javascript.  It does not respond to button clicks or enter key when focus is on the box.  Text entered just sits there.

On some other pages... <br>
examples: <br>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents   <br>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=test&ns12=1&ns4=1&ns10=1&fulltext=Search+help+pages

The left hand "Search Box" works fine with javascript enabled.   Both buttons and enter.  The (result) pages loaded have non-functional search boxes.

I do note that the "What would you like help with?" search is non-functional (with javascript on) on page: <br>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents

I am using an older browser (Opera 8.54 Build 7730), but given that:  
<br>1. It worked fine up until lately
<br>2. It works on some Wikipedia pages
<br>3. Wikipedia indicates wide usage is a goal
<br>4. Using another system the functionality of the working and non-working pages seems the same (i.e. drop down suggestions)
<br>5. Javascript is not giving me trouble (that I can tell) other places

It seems like some sort of bug has been introduced that should be fixed.

Putting it in the form of a question:  Could someone, please, make all the search boxes like the left hand one on page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents since it works properly?

Thanks

PS the buttons (Save page, etc.) on "this" page are not working unless I turn off javascript.<br>

Well it now seems to work fine.  Perhaps someone noticed the bug and fixed it.  Maybe the latest update "new and improved" it out of existence.  Either way:  Good
