Re: New Install - Getting kicked out of Admin Screen

I can verify that this is, indeed, the problem. I ran into this glitch a year ago while working for another company. The fix we used was to rename the button to something else, add a hidden field with the expected name and use an onClick event to set the hidden field to it's proper value. Bug-ugly hack but IE 6 users were then able to perform the functions they were trying to do. Same goes for inputs of type image as well.

A bit of googling found this:

"Discovered that IE and Firefox handle the <button> tag differently.

If you have a tag like

< button type="submit" name="b" value="abc">
Button Text< /button>
When the form is submitted, the value of the parameter "b" is "abc" in firefox (the value attribute) while for IE, it is "Button Text" (the innerText)"

I don't know enough of perl nor of LedgerSMB to verify that this is the problem, but it sure seems to be.

P.S - it is not a problem with cookies not being enabled. I tested for this.

Normally, if a cookie expires, you get a Session Expired message and a request for a password.
The fact that he is getting kicked back and that this seems to be happening to multiple IE 6 users suggests that something isnt being sent to the web server as expected. Does IE6 handle <button> elements properly? 

I good test would be whether this fails in 1.2 in IE6 but not 1.1 an IE6.

    It also sounds like a cookie expiration issue possibly.  Try
    removing all of your cookies and making sure the browser is
    accepting cookies.

    Good Luck!

        Hmm.... Makes me wonder if <button> elements are broken on IE :-(

        Anyone else confirm that this is the case?  If so we may need
        to look at some shim to fix it for these users.

            Chris,

            Using IE 6.0.2900

            but your question made me try it in firefox which works!!!!

            Thanks - odd - since I use this same IE with an sql-ledger
            install.


            Thanks Again!

            -Vin
