Well - I jumped over to IE to type in this answer. I was original in FireFox 3.5. I have NoScript installed, but have checked the option that says "Scripts Globally Allowed (dangerous)" (which in my opinion is not really dangerous).
I'm doing work with Dojo - and JavaScript in all my applications that I'm writing, so I really don't think JavaScript is off.
I also have Firebug installed in Firefox.
Here in IE - the "Your Answer" box appears and I can type in without clicking anything. In Firefox - I click "Answer your question" and nothing happens.
