Go to https://landfill.bugzilla.org/bugzilla-tip/attachment.cgi

Then enter an Attachment ID, and press *Details* or *View*, it doesn't response.
Works for me. Maybe you tried an invalid attachment ID? Some have probably been deleted.

hmmm, for *IE*(I have IE7), it doesn't work.
It works for *Firefox* though.

Unknown action Details!
When I press screen buttons 'Details' or 'View' nothing happens

Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11
This is a bug in IE 6 and 7. This problem seems to be fixed in IE8 beta.

From what I could read at http://allinthehead.com/retro/330/coping-with-internet-explorers-mishandling-of-buttons:

IE 6 passes all <button>s back to the server, independently of the one you clicked on. Meaning that you have no way to know on which button the user clicked!

IE7 passes the content of the clicked <button> instead of its value, in contradiction with the HTML 4.01 spec.


So the only way to fix this problem is to leave <button> in favor of <input type="submit">. But in this case, we can no longer have the label to be different from value="bla". This means that instead of "Details" and "View", we would have "edit" and "view", which are not localizabled. See bug 87770 for more details.

Note that this bug exists since Bugzilla 2.18, and nobody ever complained (AFAIK) in the last 4.5 years. So we may as well live with this bug and let people upgrade to IE8 when it's available.

The reason why people don't use it, is because you can't access it directly from another bugzilla page.
So, indeed, you just can wait.

But are there other pages on tip which could arise the same problem?
Confirmed for Bugzilla 3.2, IE6. (No problem with Firefox.)
IE 6 and IE 7 are now unsupported.
