https not working in form action="" on IE

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

https not working in form action="" on IE

Post by Kadanis »

Hi

Bascially, there is a login page on the site I'm working on and the login form looks something like

Code: Select all

<form action="https://domain/login.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="user" />
<input type="password" name="password" />
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
</form>
** simplified for posting

In Firefox, Opera, Netscape the submit button submits the form and the user is logged in, at the same time starting an https session so that actions taken while logged in are secured.

In IE6 and IE7 however, clicking on the submit button does nothing.

Just wondered if I am missing something, or if its something someone has come across.

Sys info:
Certificate for SSL is self generated so no CA
Server is Fedora Core 4 / Apache 2.0.54


Hope some one can shed some light.

Does it work if you take out the 's'?
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
