Hi Lee,

What type of control are you using for the submit button? Is it a Button or ImageButton?

I've heard cases where ImageButton can cause a problem and not trigger the OnClick event.

Cheers, Lee.

Its a button fella?  Its just a normal loginControl which is why I'm a little miffed :S

Hmmm... any other JavaScript errors in IE?

Found this:  http://forums.asp.net/t/1121401.aspx  - suggestions are that it could be related to Google AdSense? But there are a few other suggestions on that forum topics too!

Good luck! Lee.

FIXED!! And you will not believe what it was........

I am putting this solution here in case anyone else has the same issue!!  

So I had a standard login control and I had no JS errors but when you clicked the login button nothing happened in IE, but worked in Chrome fine got error messages etc......

After looking through the source, I noticed one of my JavaScript includes was being self closed as it was in an XSLT macro (Here is part of the XSLT)

<script src="{$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [string(data [@alias = 'areaJavaScript'])!=''] [position()=1] /data [@alias = 'areaJavaScript']}" type="text/javascript"></script>

And it was producing

<script src="/scripts/my.js" type="text/javascript" />

I changed the code to

<script src="{$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [string(data [@alias = 'areaJavaScript'])!=''] [position()=1] /data [@alias = 'areaJavaScript']}" type="text/javascript"><xsl:text> </xsl:text></script>

And now it works fine in IE!!  How frustrating....  This caused the login control to just not work!!

Hip-hip-hurray!

Bet you love XSLT even more now? ;-) LOL

Glad you got it sorted Lee - if only you could mark your own reply as the solution!

Cheers, Lee.

lol indeed I don't love it ;)  Yeah now you are all powerful MVP n' all, can't you suggest that feature to the 'firm'

If only!  But that's a specific XSLT issue, not even a bug really. Frustrating I know.

Take a look at the ComplianceFilter for Umbraco module, it might be what you're looking for?

http://compfilter4umbraco.codeplex.com/

It will try to revert all the self-closing tags, apart from <img>, <hr> and <br>, etc.  Not sure if it works with v4.5, but it's a HttpModule, so I see no reason why not.

Cheers, Lee.

Yup, IE will also throw a fit if you have a self closing DIV as well (even though its technically valid).

is working on a reply...
