Asp.net Login Form not working at client site. Stumped :(

Hi all,

I hope someone here can diagnose what I'm seeing because I'm stumped.

I have an asp.net 1.1 application with a login page.

I have loaded up the Page_Load( ) with trace messages and had them send
me a dump of the page when they attempt to log in.

Here, when I log into our test server, I get a dump of trace messages
showing the full login attempt, what the user typed for user name,
password,. connecting to the database, loading user configuration data
etc.

But THERE, they get my first debug trace message indicating that it's a
diagnostic DLL they are running (just to prove they are running the DLL
I gave them for this purpose), but then no more custom trace messages
come out.

Instead, they enter their login information, and the login form
RELOADS, albeit with the login fields blank and 'userid required' and
'password required' red text messages lighting up, AS IF they had not
entered anything and then hit Login.

The trace

Sorry, following up from incomplete first post:

Cookies seem to be unrelated, as turning on/off cookies here didn't
reproduce the problem (and their trace data shows a cookie and other
variables being assigned to non null values).

So what causes the login page to just re-load and act like the user
didn't enter anything and clicked login?

Peter Bradley opined:
Could you post some code, please?
The code wouldn't be helpful, I think. It works fine for most clients
and has for a few years now.

However, I did discover a MS KB article that says that asp.net 1.1 SP1
(or is it 2) breaks the submit by changing the code generated in the
validate JavaScript code.

I had the client send me their HTML source, and sure enough the
Javascript that was generated for the Validate was slightly different
with regard to a return value. I sent the client the MS KB article
that tells them to do the "aspnet_regiis -c" to update their JS
validation code and hopefully this will work.

I'll be posting here for sure if it doesn't :). Looks like we just
didn't keep our development boxes up to date with ASP.NET or we would
have seen the same behavior. *sigh*.
