Hi,

I am using the Firefox extension 'Edit with Emacs' to enter text into
text fields on web pages.  This generally works well.

However, with one web-based ticket system I am obliged to use, the Emacs
client window opens OK and I can enter text, but when I then close the
client window, the changed text does not appear in the text field.

One difference between this text field and others where the extension
works, is that the field seems to convert text into HTML on the fly.  I
type 

X

into the text field and then click on the 'Edit with Emacs' button, an
Emacs frame containing

<p>X</p>

opens.  If I edit that to

<p>XYZ</p>

and close the frame, I still get just

X

in the text field.

Does anyone have any idea how I could debug and/or solve this issue?

Cheers,

Loris
