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.

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:
http://narayanraman.blogspot.com/2006/12/button-tag-problems-and-ie-6.html
"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.
