The select field and its associated buttons are rendered using very complicated
DHTML.  This DHTML is not compatible with Mozilla at this time.  All other areas
of iTools should work fine if you use the iTools plugin.  HomePage should also
work eventually.

Taking bug since it's not actually a bug in layout, at least not right now :-)

See bug 54458 for information about updating the dynapi.

(Shouldn't this bug be evang?)

It may well be an evang bug but I didn't want anyone to bug Apple as they already 
know about the prob and how to fix it.  The question is when they'll put the fix 
into the production iTools servers.

Ok, now that 10.1 is out the iTools site has been revised and now works so 
closing as WORKSFORME

With the latest OS X and OS 9 branch builds, I don't see Homepage's edit buttons
on the page. It still looks the same as the previous NS 6 screen shot. Am I
required to get a new iTools plugin ? I'm using iTools plug-in version 2.0.7
(Classic) and Mac OS X version. Tested under Mac OS 9.1 and OS X 10.1.

Steve,

Looks like you get a different site depending on whether the user's itool
account has a existing homepage created. The first two screen shots (N6 and
N4.7) are based on an existing homepage that you are attempting to edit. The
remaining four screen shots are seen only when creating a page for the first
time, I believe. The "Choose Folder" screen shot is missing the Pictures folder
list is missing in N6. IE 5.1 is showing this same Pictures folder list.

Apple has redesigned their Homepage site so this problem is no longer occurring.
However, the redesign has brought other problems which will be covered in a new bug.
