When you click on the 'log in' button to login to plone it will displays and error message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge plone 2. attempt to login to plone using the 'log in' button (at the top right), not the quick login form on the left hand side of the page. Actual Results: The following error message is displayed: Error Type RuntimeError Error Message FS Page Template login_form has errors: Compilation failed. <pre>TAL.HTMLTALParser.NestingError: Open tags <html>, <body>, <div>, <script> do not match close tag </a>, at line 63, column 188</pre> Expected Results: It should have printed the login form. I found this link describing the problem/solution: http://www.dzug.org/mailinglisten/zope-org-zope/archive/2004/2004-07/1090545644726 Basically, a quick and dirty fix to the problem is to modify line #63 in CMFPlone/skins/plone_forms/login_form.pt document.writeln('<div class="portalMessage"><img src="info.gif">Cookies are not enabled. You can not log in if they are turned off. <a href="enabling_cookies">How to enable cookies<' + '/a>.<' + '/div>'
this is a known plone issue and has been fixed in plone-2.0.4 (which hopefully will hit portage quite soon)
