OK, I've done some more testing, and the problem does not appear
to be related to in-network vs. out-of-network differences in the
HTML source.  The problem appears to be related to screen resolution.
I normally use an X video mode of 1024x768 at 85Hz.  I switched to a
screen resolution of 1280x960x60Hz and the failure no longer occurs.
The Login link works at that resolution.  What resolution were you
using when you tested it?  Here's a copy of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file which produces the 1024x768 resolution.

----------

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
	Option		"TargetRefresh"		"85"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device		"Configured Video Device"
	Monitor		"Configured Monitor"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection	"Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier	"Default Layout"
	Screen		"Default Screen"
EndSection

I don't know what resolution my screen at work is, which runs Firefox
under Windows XP, but I know that it's higher than 1024x768.  I don't
intend to stay at 1280x960 at 60Hz on my home computer because 60Hz
vertical refresh rate on my CRT monitor results in too much flicker
and eye fatigue.  Vertical refresh rate on my work computer is a moot
point, since it uses an LCD which is immune to flicker.

I intended to reply to the BR but replied to you by mistake.  Sorry.
Realizing my mistake after the fact, I then re-sent a copy to the BR.
