148604 - ynet.co.il - Cannot login to a site

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Hebrew, defect)

Description

[Ofer Aharon]

Please logon to the site - http://www.ynet.co.il and click on one of the
articles/pictures ( It a hebrew news site , so mind the language).
You will be greated wuth a login form , enter an email and password and click on
the bottom arrow - nothing happened , but you should have logon to the site.
I'm using "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523" on
Redhat Linux 7.2 and was able to login with version 0.9.2.1 previously ,
Konqueror also enable me to login.
I thought the problem relates to cookies managment so I used cookie manager to
delete the site's cookie , but it didn't help!!!

Thanks,
Ofer

confirm in win98 2002053104 trunk. getting error in the javascript console,

Error: ERROR_Div is not defined
Source File:
http://www.ynet.co.il/NonReg/Ext/App/Billing/Registration/CdaBillReg_LoginScreen/1,10075,,00.html
Line: 28

dont know javascript very well, but is this just an error with the sites coding,
not mozilla?

[Andrew Schultz]

the document contains:
<div ID=ERROR_Div NAME=ERROR_Div>

and the Javascript:
function CheckForm() { 
// Clear the Err divs 

ERROR_Div.innerText = '' 
...
}

but you can't just define a div with an id and then reference it by the id.  I
didn't even think you could do that in IE...

Yep, Ynet is very bad about supporting anything other then win IE- we have 
quite a few bugs on them. This is one of the major online sites in Israel.
I have sent a few emails to them but never got an answer, and I can't find a 
working phone number. Any idea? I know in Israel very few people will move to 
Mozilla/Netscape if it can not work with ynet.

BTW, you will only get the login page if you are connecting from outside israel 
(for now)

As ynet refuses to fix the site, I am mrking all ynet bugs as WONTFIX.
if you want this changed, you will have to contact them yourself. perhaps if
they get many letters they will fix the site

Can't reproduce - login at Ynet? Since when does Ynet have login? Reporter or other comment authors - please explain and/or resummarize, otherwise suggest marking as INVALID.

Comment 13

[Prognathous]

I think this bug dates back to the days when ynet.co.il was blocking users outside Israel from accessing its content without subscription. If I recall correctly, they've canceled this limitation a while ago.

Can anyone outside Israel confirm?

[Tomer Cohen :tomer]

Confirming no logon screens using free anonymous proxies, but someone outside of Israel should provide more reliable test.

[Andrew Schultz]

I get no login screen when accessing the site from the US and the URL from comment 1 is 404.
