 * Using WP version 2.9.2.
 * Tried to change the contents of a text widget, clicked Save, and the circle goes
   round forever. Won’t save.
 * Delete doesn’t work either. The only thing that works is to remove the contents
   of the box altogether then click Save.
 * Any ideas??

 * What web browser are you using? Have you tried in a different browser?

 * Thanks for replying kwbridge. I tried it in both IE and Mozilla, same result.
 * I have since discovered that I can save words, but not scripts, which is what
   I’m trying to put in. Weird.

 * Have you tried unchecking the “Automatically add paragraphs” checkbox right below
   where you enter the text? Perhaps this is checked and it is causing an issue 
   with the code that you are putting in.
