Summary: Javascript interfering with "Search Box" on some but not
all pages. Fix?
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: Search
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
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>
