BuildID:    2001122106

When I went to log into the site, it would not allow me to type in my name and
password.  I would type, but nothing would appear in the form.  I wasn't having
this problem at this site in IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on log in
2. Try to type in your information - the same thing will happen no matter which
form it is.  

Actual Results:  You won't be able to register using this browser and you won't
be allowed to log in subsequently.  You have to use a different browser to log in.

Expected Results:  Make the browswer compatible with this type of form.

Page seems to be using a Flash plugin for all the content.  It's completely 
broken in NS4/Win with Flash 4 (no form visible, no buttons do anything).  
Emile, what flash plugin version are you using?

[Emile St. Claire]

I'm using Flash 5.  I had the same problem on two different Macs (one iMac and 
one iBook) using Mozilla, Omniweb and Netscape... but not IE.

Do IE and Netscape use the same Flash plugin on Mac? (on Windows, for example, 
they do not).

Comment 4

[Emile St. Claire]

Hi, yes, it is.  You download Flash 5 and in the installer specify which browser you're installing it for.  But it is is the same download.
