I believe it is selecting the first one, and it will just hang. Here is the
output from the debug

If I am reading this correctly it is going to https (a secure web page) then
the last steep
is going to http (non secure) So that would tell me the click function is
selecting the 
secure login button not the standard one.
I think now is the time to get Sean's new book!! Like I said, if someone
knows a way
of selecting the second select button that is not named I would like to
know.
Anyway I hope this helps!!
