Jeremy,

I have observed the same. My python version is newer  2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec  7 2009) so that should be ok.

There are however javascript errors on win7x64 ie8. I paste the error details below (my translation from Dutch).

These errors are there onload and the options link does not work at all.

Any help appreciated.

Alex

My python version is 2.4.3. That could be the problem.

Yes, that's the problem. You'll need to upgrade to Python 2.5 or higher to get tool search.

BTW, where is "panel/frame"? I did not find it.

The main Galaxy interface has three iframe HTML objects: the tools menu, the history, and the workspace (middle frame). In Galaxy, we refer to these as panels; because each iframe has different source code and Javascript, you often have to look in a particular frame to find Javascript issues. 

That said, I'm confident that your problem is your Python version.

Thanks,

J.
