[Webtest] How to debug when no errors

[webtest@lists.canoo.com]

I came across similar issues last year when I started using Canoo WebTest and from my experience it seems as if you are executing some IE specific script which is not getting executed correctly using the mozilla script engine, which is what Canoo uses. I would suggest looking at any scrpt associated with the login button and go from there.
Hope this helps.
