I haven't fully installed the new version of +CGI::FormBuilder to test it, and it's quite possible that other changes +in the new version cause other breakage. If you want to test the fix, +it's in svn now. --[[Joey]] diff --git a/templates/editpage.tmpl b/templates/editpage.tmpl index 6030fa2c1..ad1faa3a5 100644 --- a/templates/editpage.tmpl +++ b/templates/editpage.tmpl @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ Page type: Optional comment about this change:
