Well, that really say it all I guess. The magnifying glass icon does nothing for me.

p.s.: XP / FF 3.6.12

Same goes for Safari 5.0.2, with XP.

I find it works in some places and not in others. It didn't work on my home page just now but it's been fine from within Talk.

And with FF 3.6.12 on Vista. Magnifying class = nothing, = results.

I can confirm:

In Chrome/XP it does nothing at all.

And in IE8/XP it gives a javascript error:

The problem is that the button does:

document.stxt.submit()

it should do

document.getElementById('stxt').submit()

Seems to be working now in Chrome and IE8.

Yeah, Tim fixed it but just didn't mark it as fixed. Closing for now but maybe he'll eventually mark it.

Have we eliminated the "Search" tab at the top of each LT page in favor of an unmarked (search) field? Thanks for your reply.

15> Yes. See http://www.librarything.com/topic/102604#2310790

* The search tab has been removed and the "More" tab moved left. The "Zeitgeist" tab has been removed. It will probably be available under "more," from the home page and at the bottom of every page (like "about," which was a tab once).

You can also just click on the magnifying glass without typing in the search box to bring up the empty search form.

Reopened because the fix got unfixed.

> 18: It seems to be a somewhat different bug now though (as reported here : http://www.librarything.com/topic/102678).

To me it's the same because it's the exact same section of the code that was changed to fix this. The change was tweaked and caused problems again. This frequently happens with bug reports and we typically stick to the same report. Same bug, different symptoms. So I'm leaving this open. I won't bother the other one, though.
