revBrowserSet, search a second string

[Terry Judd]

OK - it looks like the OSX and Win versions of the browser function
differently here (nothing new about that). While the method I suggested
doesn't work with the Win browser, I did find that calling the revBrowserSet
command twice will do the trick.

For example, using the runrev home page as a testbed...

RevBrowserSet 1, "selected", "platform"
-- selects a single instance of the word platform in the footer section of
the page
RevBrowserSet 1, "selected", "enterprise"
-- selects a substring of a word a couple of lines down
RevBrowserSet 1, "selected", "platform"
-- does nothing but...
RevBrowserSet 1, "selected", "platform"
-- selects the previously selected instance of the string

I'd still report this as it doesn't work as reported and there is nothing
more painful than having to implement platform specific workarounds
(actually, not being able to come up with any satisfactory workaround for a
particular platform is definitely more annoying).

HTH,

Terry...
