Password field doesn't work on a Mac?

[IVer Erling Årva]

I run the script below in IE6 under WinXP and it works very well. I do the
same with IE on a
Mac and it doesn't. I am unable to log in. I don't know exactly what is the
problem, but to me it
seems like some strange characters are added to the
end of the password when it is returned to the program. Also, when I enter a
wrong username/password the alertbox telling me that this is the case
doesn't display most of the time.

Can anyone help please?

function checkLogin(form) {
loginData = [];
for (var e = 0; e < 2; e++) {
var el = form.elements[e];
if (el.value =="" || el.value == null) {
alert("Please enter " + el.name);
el.focus();
return false;
}
el.value = el.value.replace(/^\s+/, "");
el.value = el.value.replace(/\s+$/, "");
loginData[e] = el.value.toLowerCase();
}
var img = new Image();
var newWindow="";
//alert(loginData[0] + " " + loginData[1]);
img.onerror = function (evt) {
alert(Wrong username or password - please try again');
document.login.username.value = '';
document.login.password.value = '';
}
img.onload = function (evt) {
// alert('Valid login');
fileURL = loginData[0] + '/' + loginData[1] + '.htm'
newWindow = window.open(fileURL,"lydwin");
// location.href = fileURL;
window.close();
}
img.src = loginData[0] + '/' + loginData[1] + '.gif';
img = null;
//return newWindow;
}

Thanks!
