I just wanted to let everyone know that it's possible to sign into Amazon. I,
like Alex, couldn't figure things out at first. But then I tried saving the
page using space with s.
Unfortunately, saving on the mobile version doesn't seem to work, but go to
the full site and hit the sign in link. (I think it's called that.)
Once you're on the sign in page, you need to save the page with space with s.
After that, exit the web browser. The next part is a little tricky, but very
easy.
It turns out that the reason we can't see the email address field is because the field type has been changed from a regular text box to a type email field, which the bn obviously doesn't recognize as a standard text box type. This must be a
non-standard field type because I've not even seen it in books on html or JavaScript.
This is why you just saved the page. We're going to open the htm file and
edit a small section. Here is how that process goes:
Go to the open document option in keyword. From there, select the drive and folder you saved the sign in page to. Now, at the filename prompt, hit space with x until you hear something like "document type: all files". Then hit space to get into
the files list.
From there, select "amazon.com sign in.htm", or whatever you named the saved
htm file. This is really a plain ascii file, so you'll get a review the options prompt.
Say yes to that question.
In the options list, change both the options about line or paragraph formatting so that
they say "line". After doing that, exit the list by hitting previous or space
with e.
Now that you're in the file, you need to do a search for the text type="email". You should find
that text using a forward search. It'll be the first, and likely only result. In the quotation marks, you
need to change the word "email" to "text".
Once you've done that, hit space with e. You should get a question about saving the document in a different format because of changes you've made to the file. Just hit the letter s, and the file will be saved properly in the same format it was in
originally.
Now that the change has been made, use keyweb to open the file you just worked on. It's easiest to do this from the file manager's directory (I think it's some kind of browse option for apex users) choice. Locate the location where the file is as
normal. Hitting enter on the "amazon.com sign in.htm" file will pop up the browser address field.
Hitting enter again will load the page. You should now be able to see the
email address field. After you sign into Amazon using your modified file, both
the full and mobile versions of the site will work properly from now on.
Once you've signed in successfully, a cookie gets saved and it won't get erased unless you clear your cookies or do a hard reset with dots 4 5 6. If either of those two things happens, you will need to do this procedure again to sign back into
Amazon.
This was a bit lengthy for the sake of not-so-experienced users, and I hope it
wasn't too confusing. If it was, I am available on keychat using the google
talk id in my signature. I hope this helps.
