Hi,
    I hope this query is relevant since its the problem from NZ's Book.

    I am trying to run the example code. Chap 8.
    I am using LINUX,(UBUNTU) and FF 2.0.0.5.

    I am not getting the login screen.
    I am getting the 'divError' screen.

what should I add in this ? Where am I wrong?
Thank you,
Prasad.

I played for some time...and got the following code to work on Linux Box.

// the following Line in detect.js
var isLinux = (sUserAgent.indexOf("Linux") > -1) && !isWin && !isMac;

// Modifying the following Line in Login.htm

if ((isMinIE5_5 && isWin) || (isMinMoz1 && isUnix)

to

if ((isMinIE5_5 && isWin) || (isMinMoz1 && (isUnix || isLinux) )

This served my purpose and it hopefully is generic for all Linux boxes irrespective of whether they are 686, 586, 486 or 86_64...etc.

thanks.
Prasad.

To make login work on Konqueror on a Linux BOX,
modify the following line:

if ((isMinIE5_5 && isWin) || (isMinMoz1 && (isUnix || isLinux) )

to

if ((isMinIE5_5 && isWin) || ((isMinMoz1||isKHTML) && (isUnix || isLinux) )

thanks.
for the book.

Hi,

I can't be sure why it's not working for you. If you can post the user agent string that your browser is reporting, I can take a look. Right now, isUnix is keyed off of the "X11" string in the user agent. If that's not there, it wouldn't work.
