Unable to Reply to Messages in Safari 4.0.2

I've been using Safari 4.0.2 (Mac OS X) to reply to messages in the Acrobat and InDesign forums. Suddenly, two days ago, I've lost that ability. (I can still reply in Firefox 3.5.1, so I can post this here.

When I click Reply in Safari, the Post Reply screen appears, and everything is selectable EXCEPT the field for the reply is a small unselectable rectangle. It doesn't show the options for setting font, style, or any of that, and there is no way to type into the field.

I have done nothing to my configuration in the past couple days. Was there a change in Forum Software versions a couple days ago that might have caused this? Any suggestions?

    Thanks, Buko. Choosing Empty Cache solved the problem!

    I have both SeaMonkey and a Safari. In fact I have version 4.02 (latest version) just comparing differences in the way the cache files affect the browsers. (this also could apply to FireFox as well as the code for FireFox and and SeaMonkey are almost the same.)


    Does any have a problem bring up Mozilla Products??

    No problems using Firefox.  But then I clear my browser caches once a day (CCleaner).

    I'm using 4.0. 2  (4530.19) now to reply to you. You must have ticked something in your copy.  Does this Forum system use Javascript? if so maybe you set something in javascript different.

    If you can't figure it out. Quit Safari and remove the Preference and or plist file for Safari  trash it and and reopen.
