That's an issue with URLs and with how your browser decides to implement history navigation. When you're done with (b), you get to the search page with the query in the url "...?q=modulus". You now change the string and follow a link, then go back -- to the same url with the original query. At this point, Chrome reinitializes the page in a way that makes "modulus" re-appear in the input field, while FireFox preserves the state as you left it and will not do that. I know how to make FF behave like Chrome, but that involves re-initializing the page, which means that using the back button will be much more painful. -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
