Fwd: Re: [Cartoweb-users] Plugins

[Jacolin Yves]

Sorry, for this question, this variables have been created by myself :-)
Except for Dokuwiki's one, but I use the dokuwiki pages on my server, do you 
think CW3 can find variable from other tab using firefox ? It seems that if I 
have a dokuwiki page open in a tab and CW3 in another tab, CW3 find the 
variable "dokuwiki" from the other tab. Is it a bug ?
