Click, click... What's that sound? Why it's me clicking Logout. But nothing's happening. It doesn't load a page or anything. (Mozilla, Win98.)

If all else fails, you could have the browser destroy the cookies. That'll log you out.

If this also concerns some other links (you click on a valid link but nothing happens), check, if probably a "berserking" extension of Mozilla causes this problem.
If you want to log out, then right-click the logout-link and paste it into the address bar.
For the moment this _should_ work.

I can't either logut... and I know the reason.

Javascript, the logout link uses javascript.

Before it used login.php for logging out, but after people abused that... *sigh*

It always worked fine for me, as long as I keep JavaScript enabled (and it should normally be)

It needs the JavaScript so it can submit POST data (in a form) from a simple link instead of a button ...


To "fix" it so it doesn't need JavaScript, I can make the Logout link lead to a page where you have to click on a button to log out (it'd look a little stupid, but that'd work ), or make it use more parameters than just action=logout, like maybe the user id

Why would anyone WANT to log out of this place?

OK, but in all reality, maybe it's the cookie problem suggested by Steakz0r

(I Pm'ed ace on IRC a day or two ago about this)
And yeah, Cyrus a friend, brought it to my attention that he couldn't logout. I can't either, neither with Firefox or IE6 and I got javascript enabled on both since javascript usually works

Heh, JavaScript is enabled in Firefox 0.8 too, and I either cannot log out (what I never would do, except I'm at work; and then I've to use IE and it works ).
Between Firefox and my Internet connection sits the Proxomitron listening to port 8080; bypassing that page either doesn't help at all, but nevertheless, there's alway the way to delete the cookies

Hmm ... I just noticed it doesn't work in Mozilla, but I really don't know why Here's the code, just in case you can figure out what's wrong with it ...


Right before the table cell containing the links at the top, between a <table> and <td> :

<form action=login.php method=post name=logout>
<input type=hidden name=action value=logout>
</form>


(a form that goes to login.php with a POST variable "action" set to "logout")

Link:

<a href=javascript:logout.submit()>Logout</a>

(clicking on it should be just like cliking on a button in the above form)

Does it just happen to be some non-standard thing only Internet Explorer supports, or did I do something wrong?

Try putting quotes around the href attribute's value. Parentheses, among other characters, are prohibited in unquoted attribute values.(see http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#idx-attribute-6)

I have noticed that the post-crash board escapes all quotes in posts. That prevents the posting of what the HTML spec considers good HTML.

EDIT: I was wrong. If I click on the logout link, I get an error in the JavaScript console:
Error: logout is not defined
In javascript:logout.submit(), Line 1,

I did some searching and it looks like "javascript:logout.submit()" should be changed to "javascript:document.logout.submit()".

like this: CLICK HERE TO LOGOUT!!(Mozilla compatible!)

I also found out that single quotes can be used around attribute values. That's useful for putting double quotes inside the value.

*tries with document.logout.submit()*

Good, now it works in both browsers


And what do you mean, good standard HTML (or XHTML) can't be posted?

This worked just fine ...

I rarely log out anyway.

Javascript is defunct on some browsers... using javascript to log out is a bad idea.

Dark Lord: That's what I did.
Gandalf: I tried that, but logging out can't be done via URL. (This was done when some wise guy used login.php?action=logout as a minipic. )
Acmlm, first post: User ID? Good idea. Then we can make links to log specific people out. Might wanna re-think that one.
Kefka: So other people don't muck stuff up with my still-logged-in account. This is a school computer.

True, but that's still better than having it affect everyone But using the encrypted password too would probably help ...

This worked just fine ...

The first time I previewed a post after the crash the quotes in the HTML tags were escaped. That doesn't seem to be happening now.
