WFM Win98 in Moz 1.1beta.

Aha! WFM 2002081209
Does NOT WFM 2002081308 or 2002081508 (both WinXP)

Respectfully suggest this cannot really be considered WFM until current Windows
builds tested.

Further build WFMs:

2002072104 (1.1 beta): works (as in comment #2)
2002081209 (nightly): works

2002081308: does NOT work
2002081508: does NOT work
2002081604: does NOT work

I'd say it appears that something got added to the Windows binaries on the 12th
or 13th. I do not have the programming skills to work out what that might be.

WFM, trunk build 2002081904 - WinXP.

Right...I think I'm a little closer to working out what's going on - it's to do
with character encoding.

When I view the page Mozilla uses the charset ISO-8859-15 (due to a meta tag).

If I switch charset to ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 the form works. Also, (a far quicker
way of checking) the css style rules suddenly start working and the page looks
totally different.

Could anyone who tests this bug make sure that they are viewing the page in
ISO-8859-15?

Also, does this need to be refiled into a different component?

OK, it works now. Whatever it was has been fixed I guess.
