Description colesen 2006-09-02 09:21:05 UTC 
Version:           3.5.4-0.4.fc5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

Dell has a new layout in their notebook section that Konqueror cannot handle.

To reproduce goto to www.dell.com and pretend customizing an Inspiron E1405 notebook for purchase eventually reaching this page currently at
http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=E1405S1&s=dhs
(snapshot attached).
The problem is that clicking "Go to Next Component" and the icons at the bottom has no effect - the page remains the same. (This problem is not present using Firefox). Also the page embeds a flash that shows only momentarily. (This problem is also present using Firefox).

Good observation on flash --- basically, the buttons don't work because the website is still trying to talk to it, not sure why..
Comment 3 Maksim Orlovich 2006-09-02 20:30:13 UTC 
At least some stuff also relies on DOMContentLoaded (WTH are mozilla people using a name like that for their extension anyway?), but prolly something else... We may want to emulate it...
Comment 4 Maksim Orlovich 2006-09-02 20:41:43 UTC 
OK, I think the real problem is that we basically don't do LiveConnect w/flash..

You  can't even log into an existing Dell.com account with Kong.  
Creating an account is free.
Go to Dell.com, create an account using FireFox.
Then try to log into that account with Kong.

The login screen has a button to log in,which triggers this:

javascript:__doPostBack('subBtn','')

However, it never does anything.
Comment 6 Tommi Tervo 2006-12-14 10:05:12 UTC 
John: try with different user agent (e.g. firefox), those __doPostback errors are usually result of wrongly detected browser.
Comment 7 Paul Weiss 2007-11-15 22:29:05 UTC 
Same problem... Any solutions out there yet?
Comment 8 Arne Schmitz 2008-03-01 15:12:40 UTC 
Geocaching.com has the same problem, albeit on the profiles pages. There they also use the __doPostBack variable / function / whatever.
Comment 9 Maksim Orlovich 2008-03-01 16:59:22 UTC 
Again, if you see an error on __doPostBack, tell konqueror to identify as mozilla. This will most likely fix the problem --- a certain version of some framework (Microsoft's Atlas, I think) simply sends us broken pages that lack that function.

I tried all the Mozilla idents offered by Konqueror but none of them fixes the problem.

Message from the Bugsquad and Konqueror teams: This bug is closed as outdated, as we do not have the manpower to maintain the KDE3 version anymore. If you still can reproduce this issue with Konqueror 4.8.4 or later, please open a new report. Thank you for your understanding.
