Attempting to add a tag to a MeFi post via the usual button causes the browser to revert to the front page.

This happened under Safari 2.0.3 (417.8) but doesn't seem to happen under Firefox 1.5.

it's a safari js issue. Any idea what the fix is? It's really basic show/hide/focus javascript.

I've no idea. I guess I could send a bug report to Apple.

I doubt it is a real browser bug, it's probably a js error, but I'm not up on what safari supports and how to workaround it.

My first guess, without access to a Safari browser, is that the "return false" might not DWYM there.
