This yes. One problem might be, that they use the following construts for
defining the form:
<table>
<tr><td>...</td></tr>
<form ...><input type=hidden>
<tr><td><input name=login ...></td></tr>...
</table>

So the form element is not part of any table row or column. I thought khtmlw
did handle this now, but maybe there is still some sort of problem.
If khtmlw ignores the form tag, it'll also ignore all following input tags
(since the actual form will be equal to 0 then).

I thought so... But there still seems to be a problem.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to look into it in the next few days. After
thursday, I might have a look at it, if nobody fixed it 'till then.

Cheers,
Lars
