Go to www.latinchat.com. Pick and chat room, the page goes to a 'logon' page,
type in any nickname you want. It then takes you to the chat room, where the
ongoing conversation scrolls by. Type something into the form, and press enter.
Nothing happens. Click on the enviar (send) button, to the right. Nothing
happens. There is no way to join the general conversation.

However, you can start a private conversation with someone by choosing thier
nickname from the list. That pops up a small private chat window, in which the
test field works normally.

Note that this is NOT a Windows specific issue, it happens under Linux as well.
It does not occur under IE on Windows, using the same Java RE.

Reproducible: Always

Not a new issue, has occured with every mozilla version I have tried.

Just downloaded and tested 1.5rc1 without luck, the issue still exists.

Attachment: html/javascript source

As I am not an expert in javascript, I have attached the source of the page in
question. That part that does not work is near the bottom:

<input type="submit" value="ENVIAR" class="botoIn">

I am starting to think this is a Tech Evangelism issue, due to the use of
documnet.all in the javascript of the page.  

I sent a message to the webmaster of the site, using the template from
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tech-evangelism/site/component-spanish.html and
received an automatic reply confirming, at least, that the email address is valid.

Interesting. It seems the pure javascript version of the chat room works.

So the error is with the Java version.

Over to Java.

:-(

Still no joy. 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; es-ES; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

And my workaround by loading a .hta file via the bookmark keywords no longer
works as well.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
