It seems to be some initialization problem. When you hit 'i', the
evt.target.value should be "" at the beginning, but for you it is
undefined. I cannot reproduce it here with Chromium or Firefox, though.

But Nic, I think this is great and I hope you keep working on it. It
would be really neat if Texinfo could create a webapp like this which
you simply throw on some server (the dependency on Node.js makes this
slightly more complicated, but maybe one can get rid of it?). Together
with a few nice CSS themes to choose from, this would make Texinfo much
more attractive for creating online documentation.

You are very confused about HTML5 as well as jQuery.
