211965 - epro.royalmail.com - Error: document.forms is not a function

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect)

Description

[Tet]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Entering data into the form boxes (or actually, I think when focus leaves
that element) gives the error:

Error: window.event has no properties
Source File: https://www.epro.royalmail.com/
Line: 20

Clicking the Login button gives:

Error: document.forms is not a function
Source File: https://www.epro.royalmail.com/
Line: 31

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL
2. Try to enter some data, or login (the username and password can be anything)
3.

Actual Results:  
Javascript errors, no change to page

Expected Results:  
Either successful login, or error message about the incorrect login details.
Because of their buggy javascript, it's not even submitting the form data.

This is actually a real pain in the ass. We've standardised on Gecko
based browsers across the company, but a few people need to use this
site, and we'll be forced to give them IE back if they can't use the
site in NS7/Mozilla.

Whatever I enter the "login buttons" don't do any action.
The logout button however works.
But I don't get any javascript errors...

This is an old, old bug now. Presumably the site has been updated: it works for me using FF2 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3).

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

Closing WORKSFORME based on comment 3; it was never entirely clear if there was indeed a bug here. It's pretty clear that there isn't now, though.
