This particular website looks up Whois information in China, HTML form does
not work with Mozilla but works just fine with IE 6.02.
The website looks the same in both browsers and the html coding is the same.
The Enter key does not work in Mozilla. On the website there is no button to
click, the information is submitted when the enter key is hit.
When you first enter the website there is a pop-up that states:
The version of your Browser is not supported Please use InternetExplorer 4 and
above.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. http://www.cnnic.net.cn/  - pop-up: Your browser not supported
2. close pop-up
3. Upper right corner click on: English Version  www.cnnic.net.cn/e-index.shtml
4. cn whois - http://ewhois.cnnic.net.cn/
5. Put: gwbn.net.cn into the Domain Query
6. Hit Enter 
Actual Results:  
nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The information should have been sent to the whois server and a reply received.
This is what happens in IE.

This is the only website I have see this happen. I tried it using IE on the same
computer within a minute, so they are not blocking via IP address.

Moz 2003111211, Win2000.

Works fine for me. Try fixing your enter key ;-)

Although there are two WFMs here I'm not convinced yet...

Zbigniew, you cannot test with an older build than the bug was report against -
it could be that a bug was introduced between 20030901 - 20031030

I used also Firebird 20031112 to test this. Still WFM

When I hit Enter, the cursor vanished, but returned after a second, and the
sandbox was spinning, for some more seconds, then the info came.
To care about privacy, I don´t post the (readable) rest of the page ;-)

I just had a look at the source code:
http://ewhois.cnnic.net.cn/index.jsp

there is an invalid tag after the last form: </</td>
look yourself:

<tr>
    <td></td>
    <td><form name=f3 action="whois" method=GET>
        <input type=text name='value' size=41 maxlength="100">
        <input type=hidden name='entity' value='contact'>
     </form>

 </</td>
  </tr>

WFM, Mozilla 1.6a and 2003-11-19-08 trunk on Windows 98 SE.

Reporter, please try again with a fresh profile and see if that helps.
Do you have any third party Mozilla extensions, plugins, skins etc. installed?
