PHPBB Login not working properly in IE

**flipkipje** · 03-27-2006, 06:20 PM

Hey,

I have a phpBB forum, and I'm making a website to go along with it... I've made a login system that's linked to the forum's login, and it works perfectly. Except, of course, in Internet Explorer. When I login using IE, it takes me to the login page on the forum, in stead of just loging in.

Here's the code (partly HTML and partly PHP):

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>

<body>

<embed src="1.mp3" autostart="true" loop="true"
width="2" height="0">
</embed>
<noembed>
<bgsound src="1.mp3" loop="infinite">
</noembed>

<div id="wrap">
  <div id="container"> 
    <div id="temp_header"><img src="images/header.gif"></div>
    <div id="temp_nav"><img src="images/nav.gif"></div>
    <div id="temp_content"><img src="images/content.gif"></div>
    <div id="temp_nav_bot"><img src="images/nav_bot.gif"></div>
    <div id="temp_content_bot"><img src="images/content_bot.gif"></div>
  
    <div id="content">
