firefox 5.0 bug, kde, suse 11.4

[lord_valarian]

I'm not sure if firefox is the problem. On the website for playonlinux, I can press the login button, but the register button won't work.

Registration for PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac - PlayOnLinux - Run your Windows applications on Linux easily!

Can someone tell if it's a firefox bug or a website error?

i don't see a "register button"...i see a "Login" button and a
"Register" link below the "Login" button, but no "Register" button..

so what are you talking about? ok, i GUESS you want to register...so, i
fill in the register blanks and then click the "Check your email"
button right below the fill in blanks, then i go to my mail client and
find the new mail from PlayOnLinux, and copy paste the enclosed code
into the "Code received on your mailbox:" blank which opened up after i
clicked on "Check your email", and THEN i press the "Register" button
(which aslo appeared after i clicked on "Check your email")..

and then, when i click on Register with the code block filled in, the
site replies: "Welcome! You are now registered"

neither a firefox 5.0 or website bug seen here--so, i guess it is a user
fault there. ;-)

There is a button, but it doesn't work. Like I said.

Nope, does nothing. I filled out everything in the form, many times. No email or effect of any kind when I press the button. Java script is on.

Nope, I repeat firefox bug or website bug. Someone tell which?

Have you tried using a different web browser? If I have problems with Firefox I try Konqueror (I use KDE) and if that’s not working I try Opera.

Used Konquerer and Opera in suse, tried firefox in mswin. No effect. Disabled addons in suse firefox. Nothing. They say it works for some others.

as mentioned, the total registration process at PlayOnLinux works
perfectly with firefox 5, in kde4.6.0, on openSUSE 11.4...of course, you
must provide an active email address, and confirm it is yours by
providing the code back to the registration page in the usual manner..

i'd guess that @asarge or anyone else could confirm this also..

Checked all the data entered many times over. I'v entered the same data about 20-30 times. It's correct.

I have the latest suse 11.4 updates. The webmaster confirmed the email is not being sent. I'v tried it in two different OS's and three different browsers. It looks like a website bug to me.

just for fun, *PM* me with the login, password and email address you
want placed in the register grid....let me try to put them in here,
using my apparently bug free firefox....and lets see if you get that
confirming email then...

if you do then you can complete the process and immediately change the
password...

how is that?

i already told you...i made an account on the 18th, no problem at
all...easy peasy.

the trouble is on *your* end of the internet--not the web site's end.
