Interesting, the html code looks correct that is getting sent by Bugzilla: <table> <tr> <td colspan="3"> Please enter your existing password to confirm account changes. </td> </tr> <tr> <th align="right">Password:</th> <td> <input type="hidden" name="Bugzilla_login" value="dkl@redhat.com"> <input type="text" type="password" name="Bugzilla_password"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr></td> </tr> <tr> <th align="right">New password:</th> <td> <input type="text" type="password" name="new_password1"> </td> </tr> <tr> <th align="right">Re-enter new password:</th> <td> <input type="text" type="password" name="new_password2"> </td> </tr> Wonder if the proper syntax has changed? Will look into this. This also seems to happen in konqueror as well.
egads, didnt even notice the double type attributes when I cut and pasted. Ok, removing the type="text" has fixed the problem. Thanks!
