After blocking myself on a local test wiki, I tried editing a non-existent page as a blocked anon. (In this example I went to: http://192.168.0.64/wiki/index.php?title=XYZW&action=edit ) The HTML returned when trying to do this seems to be missing a tag for closing the text area. (As a result of this, the second half of the HTML is shown in the textarea, and the navbar/footer/logo/etc are missing, in both Firefox & IE.) I'll include the HTML that I'm seeing as an attachment shortly, but basically I think the HTML seems to need an extra line, such as: ================================================== </p><textarea id="wpTextbox1" name="wpTextbox1" cols="80" rows="25" readonly="readonly"> + Article does not exist</textarea> <div class="printfooter"> ==================================================

Should be fixed in SVN trunk, r. As far as I can tell, the problem was due to wfElement() receiving a blank string under those circumstances, which caused it to output a single container tag. I've sanitised the behaviour of the edit form when the page doesn't exist and the user is blocked. As a further precaution, I've also modified that part of the code to use wfOpenElement() and wfCloseElement() in an explicit manner, so if I've not spotted another stupid case, then we should be covered. [Brion: This one is probably worth backporting to REL1_7]
Ack, apologies; that was r15580 and r15581.
Thank you once again Rob!
