Connecting WM6 to Eircom wifi hotspots

Hi, hope someone can help me, I am having trouble logging on to Eircom hotspots with a HTC P3600. The IE browser will not load the splash page so that I can enter the log in details. It only displays a white screen.
Is there any way to pre enter the log in details on the device so that it will automatically connect?

Or any browser that will display the page?

Just bumping this... Has anyone any ideas? Still can't get it to connect to Eircom hotspots. Splash pages are accessible from other private providers.

Can you connect to any other WiFi Access Point? (e.g. at home, work, etc.)

Ya, no problem with normal connections, just with Eircom hotspots, it only displays a white page with no data entry boxes to input my Eircom details.

I wonder is it to do with JavaScript? If the Eircom page uses JavaScript, I believe Pocket IE does not support it.

That could be your problem.

That sounds like a possibility, is there any other browser that I could try?

I'm a bit out of the loop with WM, but try Opera mini.

There are probably others out there, too.
