ASP.Net and AOL issues

[kenmartenz]

I am having issues with AOL.... what's new

I have created a website for a client of mine and i have done it in ASP.NET.

I have a login screen that uses a post method wich fowards the info to another web host.

printstation1.com to brinkster.com

it works beautifully in IE or Netscape, but AOL will not go past the login.

I've even tried to get rid of the @ symbol for the email (used for username)

http://www.printstation1.com then click orders
here is a username = ken and a password = ken..

Try it out.. HELP!

I know the AOL browsers are Gecko Based.. but I can not find anything on ASP.NET and Gecko compatibility.

OK! I have seen this before, first of all DONT USE BRINKSTER THEY SUCK! They are a webfarm and not all of their servers have the right software on them so when they rotate things it causes 'viewstate errors' go to europe.webmatrixhosting.net they are free and they give you no ads, smtp server access, ftp access, and unlimited bandwidth, they rock. Ok the problems you are experiencing are because aol interfears with your scripting its like dave said, but other things can be to blanme, dont use a .tk domain or a .cjb.net redirect because it will interfear with your login system. Make sure your redirect does not mask your usl or use frame because it screws it all up, and sometimes opening things in a new window can help.

oh yea some other isp 'browsers' besides aol can cause interfearence as well, msn doesnt (duh its microsoft) but I dont know about all of the others, but I have had people tell me about login feild just 'clearing' when they click the login button and i just said open it in ie and it works beautifully so now I have a little *note if you encounter errors in this application try viewing it on your actual browser.

If some broswers interfer, then is there a way... Through activex maybe. To open IE on the persons computer. Since more than 90% of his customers are PC, is there a way to basically click a link and open IE??? not just a new window in AOHell..

I have even checked other browsers in Mac, IE for Mac and Netscape.. no problems...
Just AOL and there is about 40% customers who have AOL

Is there any possible way to fix the code.. by using maybe querystrings and not posts????

I's like to fix the code rather 1st if I can
second is the click and open IE
Third is just put a text message to open IE or Netscape...

I have never heard of anything like that... Just put a message on there for the time being saying please use your default browser. I didnt think you could do it with active or directx. Java script might be able to detect if someone is using aol but I am not sure because aol is just ie with a fancy skin.
