2008-07-16 Thread Samuel Klein

Tarun, Ok, I restarted httpd and confirmed DOM/XML is enabled. Yes, if you get bumped off the system, it will appear you are logged in when perhaps you are not. In my case, I am using wireless at the Le Meridian hotel in Mumbai, so it happened to me today. When I came back in, I saw that I
