can't click into fields in ambra-registration register.action with IE6, lost left/right gutters in all pages in ambra-registration and cas webapps

[stoomey]

In IE6 I'm unable to use the sign up form to create a new account. Text entry fields are inactive.

This bug was manifesting at this url:  http://plosmedicine-branch.plos.org:8080/admin/adminTop.action

hmm. if you tab into the fields, they do just fine.

however, you can't click on them.

seems like a peekaboo bug.

i still need to merge joe's changes this round into the plos CVS repo, so that might fix. if not, i'll have to bounce this back to sebastian or joe...

merged in joe's changes (new javascript includes), but no change.

also, we don't seem to be adding left and right gutters anymore in ie6

i suspect this functionality was handled by the javascript the joe removed...

i'm going to test on a clean (non-plos-templated) instance to see if it's there...

i confirmed this bug on a clean ec2 instance.

(In [7490]) IE 6 was having problems with the registration form and was not getting styled correctly. This should fix both issues.

Registration and CAS issues are hard to deskcheck. I'm not 100% sure my test environment will mirror production. Please be mindful when testing this.

register.action, forgotPassword.action and resendRegistration.action work correctly but prePopulateNewUser.action (creating a profile) has the same problem.

(In [7501]) It appears as though some badly formated CSS can cause form fields to be disabled on IE 6. I believe this resolves the issue.

It looks like that one page uses a different CSS file then the rest of the site. We missed it in our updates. Hopefully this nails it.

Verified that editProfile.action and prePopulateNewUser.action work correctly with IE6.
