Re: [Htmlunit-user] Issues after upgrade from 2.13 to 2.25 (Internet explorer)

Hi Marcelo,
Thanks for reporting, it is fixed in SVN.
This is due to incorrect handling of upper case attributes with IE. If the TYPE attribute is 'type', then HtmlUnit works correctly, but not if it is upper case.
Yours,Ahmed

 Subject: [Htmlunit-user] Issues after upgrade from 2.13 to 2.25 (Internet explorer)
   
After upgrading from 2.13 to 2.25, I am experiencing issues when detecting and populating input field when simulating IE (or Edge).
More specifically, it seems like 2.25 is detecting the password input fields as regular Input fields. The issues does not occur when simulating Firefox or Chrome. The underlying HTML code is identical regardless of the browser I am using, so it seems like HTMLUnit is behaving differently with IE for a reason I can't explain.
 I am accessing the element via  HtmlPasswordInput inputPassword = (HtmlPasswordInput) page.getHtmlElementById("Password"); and that is throwing a java.lang.ClassCastException: com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlTextInput cannot be cast to com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlPasswordInput
Here is how the HTML piece looks like when I browser via IE:
<table class="mainLoginTable" id="mainLoginTable" role="presentation">  <tbody>     <tr class="signInTextRow">      <td class="loginlabel">Sign In</td>    </tr>    <tr>      <td><LABEL FOR="User">User ID</LABEL></td>      <td><INPUT  SIZE=20 class="textfield margin-top5"   TYPE=text NAME="User" ID="User" VALUE="" ></td>    </tr>    <tr>      <td>        <LABEL FOR="Password">Password</LABEL>      </td>      <td>        <INPUT AUTOCOMPLETE="OFF" SIZE=20 maxlength="40" class="textfield margin-top5" TYPE=password NAME="Password" ID="Password" VALUE="">      </td>    </tr>      <tr>        <td class="loginButton" colspan=2>             <INPUT  class="buttonstylenormal margin-top5"   TYPE=submit VALUE="Sign In" onclick="return isFirstClick()">        </td>      </tr></tbody></table>
Is anyone else simulating IE and filling up passwords on forms with 2.25 and experiencing the same issue?

Thanks,Marcelo
