In the iplanet calendar, the login screen doesn't work with mozilla 1.1 on MacOS
5.2. It works fine with mozilla 1.1 on windows XP, and IE on MacOS.  The login
button doesn't do anything. You should be able to duplicate the problem even
without having an account on our server. Trying logging in with any username and
password. With an invalid one, you should be told that your username/password is
invalid. But in fact the login button doesn't do anything.

Clicking Log In generates a JavaScript error:

Error: userform is not defined

(Note: that server is also incorrectly serving CSS files as
application/octet-stream instead of text/css.)

>    if (userform.user.value == '' || passwordform.password.value == '') {

this should be document.userform.user.value (same for passwordform).  The page
gets it right for the body onload= handler

Reassigning to Tech Evangelism per comment 4.

Comment 6

[Andrew Schultz]

It looks like Hedrick already made the changes.  :)
Did this help?

I was confused why this was working on Linux.  The reason is that near the
bottom, it does:

var loginform = document.loginform;
var newwinform = document.newwinform;
var passwordform = document.passwordform;
var userform = document.userform;

so I think it should have worked before as long as that code got executed.
