I'm trying to register my Mobistar internet dongle.
Their web programmers are obviously a bunch of total idiots,
especially on the usability front. Not to mention that they make the
site ridiculously secure for no good reason, the only way you could
lose information or money there is if you, by mistake, charged someone
else's SIM.
However that's all by the by, it would be really good if I could
actually get our dongle registered to allow us to view our usage and
to recharge it.
When we tried a few weeks ago it was impossible because the Mobistar
website wanted to send an SMS message to our browser and couldn't
because we're not running IE on Windows. So we gave up.
I just retried and now it allows me to say "I can't receive SMS" at
which point it allows entry of the PUK instead. Whoopee I thought, now
I can register. No such luck, I get past the first few entries of
phone number and PUK but then in the personal information bit it
wants to know my date of birth and the pull down boxes for the day,
month and year don't work.
No problem I thought, I'll do it in IE in Windows, just the same (well
slightly different symptoms), can't enter date of birth. I've also
tried Konqueror, still no good.
Can anyone suggest any workarounds that might allow me to get a date
into the right place?
The symptom in Firefox is that the drop-down box is the size for just
one number and is blank, the symptom in IE (and Konqueror if I
remember right) is that the drop-down is quite tall but is still
completely blank. I have tried entering numbers even though they
don't appear and tabbing through the entries but it still refuses to
think I've entered a valid date.
