I have found using Netscape with Coppermine users can't register. Has anyone found this kind of behavior? Is their a fix out there somewhere? http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine
Thanks
Can you please provide the exact version and OS you are using?

Yes. It is standalone 1.1.0 and the OS is MacOSX 10.2.6. Only netscape seems to have a problem that we have found so far.
Which version of netscape?
Quote from: "zarsky99"Which version of netscape?

Has anyone seen this problem before with Netscape? Is their any hope?
please be patient....I do not have netscrap installed....so I am unable/unwilling to test it. I wanted all the specifics to enable some other dev to figure out the problem.

On OSX, Netscape/mozilla doesn't work on registering (just found out) but it could be theme specific.
It works fine on Safari and IE though - is there any reason why those browsers can't be used instead?
Dear mellowyellow,
Most likely, the issue lies within the HTML itself. Examination of your source code reveals a typo in the form tag.
<form <form method="post" action="/coppermine/register.php">
Netscape is the most finnicky of all browsers, and it is probably rejecting the malformed HTML out of hand. Hence, users with Netscape have no result when clicking I agree. (Netscape sees <form></form> with no action directive.)
Please look in your register.php file, and remove the extra <form. (That's where it should be, but it could be hiding somewhere else.)
This how the code in register.php should appear:
// Display the disclaimer
function display_disclaimer()
{
global $CONFIG, $PHP_SELF;
global $lang_register_disclamer, $lang_register_php;
starttable(-1, $lang_register_php['term_cond']);
echo <<<EOT
<form method="post" action="$PHP_SELF">
<tr>
<td class="tableb" style="padding: 10px;">
(That's my hypothesis, but I don't have Netscape or a Mac . . . )
In order to fix this problem for others, we need to know if you have edited this file. If not, when did you download it (date and version)?
Thanks,
Hyperion.
I have not modified it at all. I downloaded it about 2 weeks ago. I didn't see the problem until a couple users complained and they were using Netscape. So I tried Netscape on the mac and sure enough the same problem.

That was it. I fixed that and it works fine.
Thanks
you should fix that in the release. It comes like that in the release.
I have had several netscape users report the problem too. Netscape 7.1 on windows.
