[twill] Twill not finding input box on page

[Jamal Mazrui]

Thanks, Howard and Pawel, for your responses.  

I tried changing the use_tidy setting, and then tried changing the
use_BeautifulSoup setting as well -- still no luck as per the session
below.  

Howard,
I wonder what is different about your twill installation.  I think I am
using the latest version with Python 2.5 on Windows.  I tried using
id_url with the fv command, but I get an error about that not being
found.  

I think the page in question is XHTML rather than HTML in case that
makes a difference.

Jamal
