confirming, though this is an evangelism issue.

the site has code like this:
if(document.layers){
  document.write('<input type="text" name="userloginid" class="tdnn01"
size="10">'); }
if(document.all){
  document.write('<input type="text" name="userloginid" class="tdie01"
size="14">'); }

document.layers only works for Netscape 4.  document.all only works for Internet
Explorer.  In effect, the website is specifically not showing the login/password
prompt for Mozilla (or other standards-based browsers).  document.getElementById
can be used to test for Mozilla.

King, can you pass this information on to those responsible for the intranet site?

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
