Running:
Apache/1.3.34
PHP Version 4.4.2
MODx 0.9.2.1 (rev 1005)

OS/Browser
WinXp
Win2k
WinME
Firefox 2.0
IE 6.0

Plugins
PHx 2.01
Maxigallery 0.5 rev 49

WebLogin is set up and running correctly in Firefox 2.0. It properly logs a user in and and out, with one exception.

However, in IE 6.0.2800.1106, the login doesn’t work at all. The same page is returned upon submission. There are no errors or messages showing in the error log or the message file, or the page.

The page is uncached.

This is the snippet call:

[!WebLogin? &loginhomeid=`30` &logouthomeid=`65` &logouttext=`Sign Out` &tpl=`tpl_login_archon`!]

This is the tpl:

<!-- #declare:separator <hr> --> 
<!-- login form section-->
        <form id="loginForm" method="post" name="loginfrm" action="[+action+]">

          <div class="loginForm">
            <label class="small">Username<input type="text" id="username" name="username" title="Username" tabindex="1" onkeypress="return webLoginEnter(document.loginfrm.password);"  value="[+username+]" size="12"/></label>  
            <input type="password" id="password" name="password" title="Password" tabindex="2" onkeypress="return webLoginEnter(document.loginfrm.cmdweblogin);"  value="Password" size="12"/>
<input type="image" name="cmdweblogin" src="[(rb_base_url)]/images/bg/button_signin.gif" value="button">
          </div>

        </form>
<hr>
<!-- log out hyperlink section -->
<a class="signout" href='[+action+]'>[+logouttext+]</a>

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

IE does not understand image type inputs because it only Posts a submit_x and a submit_y, but not play submit, which is what the weblogin code looks for. Tweak that in the weblogin include and you should be fine.

Here’s how I resolved the problem.

In the WebLogin snippet, go to line 72:

Original line 72:

$isPostBack		= count($_POST) && isset($_POST['cmdweblogin']);

and change it to:

$isPostBack		= count($_POST) && isset($_POST['cmdweblogin_x']);

This corrects the problem in IE and does not break it in Firefox 2.0.

A google search on ’input type image +ie’ resulted in me finding this link:

Thanks for the pointer, ryan.

Thanks for publicly recording it! Probably should add that to the default code to begin with.
