Re: New Install - Getting kicked out of Admin Screen

So, I guess the question for everyone is:  How important is Internet Explorer support for LSMB 1.x (out of the box at least)?  Obviously for 2.x we can provide a different set of templates without localizable buttons for businesses requiring IE.

Lack of IE support would hurt me a bit.  And I am guessing that the problems are likely to be similar for Pocket IE.  But I am worried that trying to go back to submit buttons is going to require hackish i18n support which I am not thrilled about either.

In either case, I will be letting people I know at Microsoft why this is a problem.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

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.
