1. go to http://www.ryanairhotels.com
2. click on "Search for Hotels" (on the left hand-side of the page)

I'm not marking this bug as new yet until we can track down the cause of the
problem. I'm guessing this must be a dupe of another bug as well, but I haven't
found one yet.

Only one issue per bug please. That one IS  a Tech Evangelism issue, they use
document.forms(0) instead of document.forms[0]. File a new bug for that.

Sorry, I didn't know that. I added a new issue for this bug (Bug# 286203).

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

This works now for me with Firefox 1.0.7 under Linux (I don't know if this is
due to a change in Firefox or due to a change of the website.)
