I can't log in to Netscape WebMail because the button ¨Okay¨ that legitimates my login/password combo is not recognized as a clickable item by the browser. I'm using the Seamonkey M3 milestone release. Netscape WebMail uses JavaScript to legitimate logins and passwords.

The simple test case exhibits the same problem. It crashes Nav4.5 however. <HTML><body> <img ISMAP src="http://images03.netaddress.usa.net/images/en/netscape/webmail_sell_5_top_jh .gif" width="628" height="208" BORDER="0" USEMAP="#map"> <map name="map"><area shape="rect" coords="29,161,177,192" href="http://ureg.netscape.com/iiop/UReg2/login/login?U2_LA=en&U2_BACK_FROM_CJ=t rue&U2_CS=iso-8859-1&U2_ENDURL=http://webmail.netscape.com/tpl/Subscribe/Step1&U 2_NEW_ENDURL=http://webmail.netscape.com/tpl/Subscribe/Step1&U2_EXITURL=http://h ome.netscape.com/&U2_SOURCE=Webmail"> <area shape="poly" coords="70,68,108,61,133,59,155,63,175,86,184,114,149,134,124,149,93,157,63,152, 27,141,20,114,45,77" href="/tpl/Subscribe/Terms"></map> </body</html>

cpratt, is this a bug for all platforms?
mac os: the application unexpectedly quits with a type 1 error (not by clicking on the button this bug report is about, but by clicking on the button that gets you to the webmail login screen) linux: button works but there is no visual feedback windows nt: works fine. windows 98:
oops, didn't mean to send that. let me try again: mac os: crashes with type 1 error when clicking on that button (not reproducible - crashed at http://webmail.netscape.com but not at http://schist/4322.html) linux: works ok win nt: ok win 98: ok

Here is what I see when I attempt a login to webmail: JavaScript error: document.proform.U2_USERNAME has no properties So I'm reassinging this to vidur... The MAP element is working perfectly (though I did fix a rendering bug when using visual debugging)
Assignee: vidur → harishd
This is actually a parser bug. The form with a NAME attribute value of "proform" and a hidden INPUT element with a NAME attribute value of U2_USERNAME appear between table rows in a table. The hidden INPUT element is being floated out of the table by the parser, while the form stays where it is. As a result, the INPUT element isn't considered part of the form. This is definitely wrong. The INPUT element should stay where it is.
