Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 197957

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Conrad Siao]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030317
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030317

On California's Department of Motor Vehicles Website for special customized
license plate ordering (https://vrir.dmv.ca.gov/ipp/PerLicensePlateServlet), you
choose the Type of Vehicle (Auto, Commercial, Trailer, or Motorcycle).  No
matter what you choose in Mozilla, after you hit the "next" button and go to the
next page, it will show that you chose "Trailer" by saying "Trailer is your Type
Vehicle selected."  Which is incorrect.  The entire plate ordering form won't
work after this.

This site works fine on IE6 as well as on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030306.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla.
2. Go to https://vrir.dmv.ca.gov/ipp/PerLicensePlateServlet
3. Choose the type of vehicle, click yes or no on the next question.
4. Choose a plate, such as "Reflective"
5. Hit Next
6. The next screen will show "trailer" no matter which type of vehicle you
choose.  The entire form will no longer work.
Actual Results:  
The custom plate ordering system breaks.  And the website will return a:

System Unavailable
The Special Interest License Plate Internet Ordering System is currently
unavailable. Please try again in a few minutes. If the problem persists, please
contact your local field office for assistance.

But it's not the websites fault.

Expected Results:  
Chose the correct vehicle type you actually chose... instead of choosing
"Trailer" for you every single time.

I chose "Critical" for severity as this *may* cause loss of data on other forms.
 I did not experience any loss of data.
