I am trying to login into a website which launches a popup window using shell.explorer.2 OLE. Whenever, I click the search button on the web page (which executes a javascript call parent.right_frame.open_popup("search","xxx.asp") ), the popup window opens then closes with the message "Thank you for using XXX. You have successfully logged out of your session.". This does not happen when I am using IE directly. I checked the java script for the popup window function and the popup window function is calling a validate login function. The validate login function declares a variable user_fk then tests it. The test is obviously failing but why:

var user_fk=777"

if ((user_fk == "") || (user_fk == -1)){

     if(window.opener){

         window.opener.parent.location=logon.asp?msg=Thank you for using XXX. You have successfully logged out of your session.";

  	         window.close()

     }

	    else{

        parent.window.location=logon.asp?msg=Thank you for using XXX. You have successfully logged out of your session.";

    }

}

This is not my site so I don't have an option to debug and I am no java expert. I am running 8.01. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sandra, you could try the Firebug add-on tool for Firefox and

track/debug each step and variable. There are a couple 'how to' instructional videos on how to use it.

Unfortunately, there is also a test for the navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer". I pulled all the code from the temporary internet folder so I am looking to recreate the webpages without some of the checks and debug it from there. I was just hoping someone knew why the variable test was working in the OLE before I had to go to this step. Thanks again for the heads up on the Firefox debugger.
