Ubuntu
firefox-3.0 package

Javascript button does not work

Asked by Chriss

I am trying to update a password on a webpage. I can enter the password into the requester box but when I click on the submit button nothing happens.
When I hover the cursor over the submit button it does change colour and the arrow pointer changes to the pointing hand but left click, right click, centre click and the enter key on the keyboard give no response with the mouse cursor over the submit button.
The status bar displays the following with the mouse cursor over the submit button... javascript:loginForm.submit();

Enable Javascript is checked in Firefox preferences and I have all updates installed.

Appears to be a syntax error. Maybe just compare with a page where login works.
e.g. line:
form name="Name_of_LoginForm" method="POST" action="string"
