179624 - Problem with form submission by JavaScript, which is didn't occur in Mozilla 1.0.1, but in 1.1

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Rüdiger Kubsch]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

In http://www.firstcampus.com/de/index.php a form is submitted to login to the
page. This is simply done by "document.forms[1].submit()". This causes no
JavaScript error, but the submission fails and login is refused.
With Mozilla 1.0.1 this problem did not occur. I think the problem is somewhere
in the form submission. I will add an attachement with the relevant part of the
pages source code.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Login is refused the same way as if I typed a wrong user name.

reproter,
i see you're using a pretty old version of mozilla. i would suggest to try wih
one of the nightlies and see if you can login. you can get nightlies at
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/ . i don't have an account with those
guys so i would appreciate if you could find some time to test. thx!

Thanks.

This "pretty old version" is the last one marked as stable. 

I tried Mozilla 1.2 and the problem is solved.

Thanks again for the quick help.

yeah, sorry if it sounded sarcastic. for us devs 2 weeks is already old though.
we usually test only with the latest versions since so many fixes are flowing in
all the time. the developers usually pull at least once a week, but most of them
2 or 3 times. glad I could help. alles gute und danke, dass Sie Mozilla
verwenden! ;-)
