\nrelease dates there.Turns out Firefox <\/font><\/p>\n

2.0.0.2<\/font><\/a> came out on Feb 23.  At some point you must
\nhave updated, and things started failing.  To prove this, I just
\ndowngraded to FF <\/font>2.0.0.1<\/font><\/a> — and presto, Chuck's plugin works.  So the
\nissue is an incompatibility between FF <\/font>2.0.0.2<\/font><\/a> and xmldap 0.8.6.<\/font>I'm going to blog this ASAP so people know what is going on…  thanks
\nfor twigging me onto the right path Eric, I'm so glad I can finally
\nexplain what's going on!<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
