	Yes, we had the same problem on a IE 6, I
installed Firefox and that solved the problem, I
didn't had the chance to teste IE7 or IE8 on the
same machine.

	I will try that the next time, there are 2
other clients with the same behavior/scenario.

	I had, and as I mentioned above, we installed
Firefox and recommended the person to use it. :-)



	BTW, the miniportal was a great addition to
Coova, the redirect works greatly and it made much
easier to present the terms of use.


	Related to that, also an error on submit, I
found a small problem with the auth form on some
smart phones, the final part of config-local.sh is
an if:

if [ "$FORM_uamip" != "" ]; then
    QS=$(echo $QUERY_STRING | sed 's/&md=[^&=]*$//')
    HTTP="http"
    [ "$HTTPS" == "on" ] && HTTP="https"
    URL="$HTTP://$SERVER_NAME/$REQUEST_URI?$QS"
    CHECK="$URL$hs_uamsecret"
    CHECK_MD5=$(echo -n "$CHECK" |md5sum|cut -d' ' -f1|tr 'a-z' 'A-Z');
    #echo "$URL" >> /tmp/debug
    #echo "$CHECK" >> /tmp/debug
    #echo "$CHECK_MD5" >> /tmp/debug
    #echo "$FORM_md" >> /tmp/debug
    if [ "$CHECK_MD5" = "$FORM_md" ]; then
        COOVA_USERURL=$FORM_userurl
    else
        #http_redirect "/www/error.chi"
        COOVA_USERURL="http://www.hpp.org.br"
    fi
fi

	I changed the final 'else', otherwise some phones
after clicking to login receives a "an error occurred",
the above changed fixed it, not sure if it is totally
harmless, but hope this helps improving it.

Kind regards,
