"Next" button doesn't work on linked URL -- clicking it does nothing. I'm
assuming this is a tech evangelism issue (bad Javascript/HTML?), but I didn't
notice anything glaringly wrong from a quick look at the page source.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit https://www.longislandferry.com/bif/schedule.aspx
2. Under "Choose quantity", pick a non-zero number
3. Click the "Next button"

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
In IE, the Next button brings up the next page

That's the first sign of trouble...

The Next button calls to http://www.longislandferry.com/bif/schedule.jsp which
gives me a warning in the JavaScript Console:

function fValidateInput() 
		{ 
			var strAdult; 
			var strChild;
			var strBike;
			var strDeparture; 
			var strOutDate; 
			var strOutTime; 
			var strRoundTrip; 
			var strReturnDeparture; 
			var strReturnDate; 
			var strReturnTime; 
			var strError = ''; 
			var strErrorStdMsg = '';
			var dtOutBoundDateTime= new Date();
			var dtReturnDateTime= new Date();
			 //alert('Hi'); 

			strAdult =
document.frmSchedule.cboAdult.options(document.frmSchedule.cboAdult.selectedIndex).value;


saying that
document.frmSchedule.cboAdult.options is not a function.

The proper use is options[index] I believe. That is:
document.frmSchedule.cboAdult.options[document.frmSchedule.cboAdult.selectedIndex].value;

-> TE
