It still doesn't make the problem interesting or urgent enough for it to get done. Of course, anybody is welcome to help out and implement this feature. B.

If it had a size="n" (or equivalent CSS) attribute I think Netsurf wouldn't assume a length of zero, even though maybe it shouldn't. Perhaps your bug report was closed because someone thought a zero length field makes sense. ;-) In the meantime, you could use this link for play.com searching: http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?searchstring=type+here HTH T -- Tim Hill, www.timil.com

Look at the title bar of the window. I have emailed one of the authors but given how long it took them to fix the < (missing ;) problem, don't hold your breath but perhaps use a different, more tolerant, browser in the meantime.
