Re: [flexcoders] Re: flex and IE 7 problems.
btw. to clear things up. my issue was with flash player 8 (haven't tried 9 with this same bug), flash and it had to do with IE security. can you try it outside of your network? or come up with a simple example we can test? try it without setting the content type (as just a string). also try escaping the characters before you send them. if you can isolate the source you have something to work with.

[flexcoders] Re: flex and IE 7 problems.
all the user names right now are sinble alphanumeric. We are getting the same
behavior
from all 6 machines we have tried running IE7 from. The login screen is part
of a very
small logic shell application that then points to different flex modules. The
app just
passes username and password to the server for verification. Below is the
function that is
called when you click login
public function login():void {
var infoModel:XML;
var userUID:String = UIDUtil.createUID();
setUserUID(userUID);
infoModel =
{username.text}
{password.text}
{username.text}
{password.text}
;
// prepare the request parameters
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = dataServerURL + "batch*";
request.contentType = "application/xml";
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = infoModel.toString();
// now create the communications object and send the request data
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processTheLogin);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR , loadIOError);
//setApplicationBusy();
loader.load(request);
}

I have no idea what's going on in that one situation, but I'm wondering whether there might be a keyboard mapping or other encoding issue in play. Does "ferrall" have an accent mark, or is it a straight ASCII character? How about when you try other machines using IE7? That could be a way to zoom in on the difference. (And yes, whatever's in Flex itself is insulated from changing browsers... the OS still gives the keystrokes to the Player, though, and the Player requests network services from the browsers, so there's a couple of way environmental changes could get in there, at the edges.) jd -- John Dowdell .

i've run into some problems with ie6, https and frames. i had to come up with a crazy workaround. here is what you do. come up with a simple test sandbox so that you can isolate the problem. if it persists then post it to the list so we can verify.

[flexcoders] Re: flex and IE 7 problems.
Yes this is a flex 2 app. Nothing crazy going on at all. A simple HTTP post to do a user login. It sends 2 fields via xml back to the DB. Server side its a resin server sending data to PostgreSQL. When we tracked the logs its as REALLY strange. a user was loggin in, username and was ferrall. For some reason the log kept showing he was typing farrell. we thought it was user error till we tried it and the same thing happened. Also was changing other things we typed in. SOme usernam e combos would cause the app to not even send anything to the server. Again everything works perfectly fine in every other browser we have tried. Only IE7 is causing the issue. > I have been using IE 7 for a long time now with many, many flex apps and > have not seen any issues. This is a flex 2 app right?
