I realize this does not help pre-XP users, but the buttons in 1.2
appear to work fine under IE7.
Considering that IE 6 is considered EOL.... Our focus should only be on IE7 and its counterparts.

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.

            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
