Description
- Turn off all cookies
- Go to musescore.org
- Fill in the account information
- Click Log In
Expected behavior: A notice that musescore failed to log in because cookies are turned off
Actual behavior: No error message. Page reloads but obviously it failed to log it.
(Tested using Firefox 3.5 and IE 8.9 Windows XP)
I can't solve this unfortunately due to the current setup of musescore.org. Read more in this discussion. I will keep it in the back of my head dough, so if I fall on a solution I will implement it.
Lasconic just pointed me to a simple js based cookie check. Will have a look at it.
I don't know how well it would work for this situation, but Javascript also has
navigator.cookieEnabledwhich returnsTrueorFalseIf you know the name of the cookie then you can also test for the presence of it using javascript.
