This thread is to discuss a fix for the mozzilla in game browser being broken on the mac, ie text input not working. This has actually been a mac problem with firefox 1.5 too (probably what ingame browser is based on ) so I'm wondering if those workaround exist and if they can be applied here. Any ideas?

Here's the link to the in-game browser thread in case you weren't aware of it.

I'm using http://www.bitty.com/ instead of the gateway or google everyone mentions, modified with a dropdown of my bookmarks, come to think of it I should just point it to a script that parses my Bookmarks.plist file... hmn...

The "browser" isn't ready for prime time. As such, we deployed it with the single utility of being our in-world Help system. Text input box problems is one of the things holding up development on the true in-world browser. So, this is a hack, and not a bug :)
