[albatross-users] URL style user inputs requiring a session server

[Michael C. Neel]

I take it you are using linux browsers?  I haven't really checked the
style sheet there, as I'm mostly concerned with Windows systems.  In the
case where I've used this was on an Intranet, and it was IE only so
cross-platform wasn't an issue.  Try it in IE to make sure you have it
working (I'd just use a standard <input> to rule out an albatross
issues), then you can see if those browsers support enough css to make
this work.

I couldn't get this to work when I tried it yesterday (with Opera and
Mozilla as browsers) - in particular, I can't see anything in the style
that would trigger the rendering of the button as a link. For the
markup, I was using something like:

    <al-input type="submit" class="btn" name="foo" value="bar">
