Trying to login to the "candidate login" you never see the login page (it 
just redirects back to current page ... which is what it should do after login).

This is a shame, as the previous version of the website (prior to this week) 
worked fine with Firefox :(

It works OK on IE6 (surprise surprise).

This is what I got (when I said that the old site worked but the new one 
doesn't with Firefox) ... this is from the jobserve helpdesk:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.jobserve.com
2. Click on "candidate login" button towards top/middle of page.
3.

Actual Results:  
Page "refreshes" (actually I think it goes to the login page and immediately 
redirects back, but you don't see the middle step).

Expected Results:  
It should go to the login page of:
http://www.jobserve.com/candidate/candidatelogin.aspx
... and then redirect back (after login)

As this (apparently) should work with Netscape 7.x, I would imagine it is
something "fixable" (or perhaps "bodgeable") in Firefox.

Page layout appears to have been updated. Choosing _Candidate_ from the Login menu works correctly,
