example URl or testcase ?

Comment 3

[Jonnie]

I'm also having this problem.  Here's a URL:
http://survey.euro.confirmit.com/wix/p7492030.aspx?r=1237&s=VROHAKCE

If you answer the first question (NEXT), the second question has a table.  After
you select any state, the next field (institution) is populated by executing
Jscript.  As you will see, nothing happens and you are not able to use the
second field.

Is there anything that can be done??????
Thanks

I don't see any JScript on the page...? Just normal JavaScript (though not well
working).

Comment 5

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

Attachment: testcase

the testcase does not work and most likely shouldn't
language=JScript is probably nonsense

->INVA ?

(ps Opera does display the alert from the testcase)

Comment 6

[José Jeria]

Use <script type="text/javascript">

--> INVALID

comment 3 is another issue that doesnt belong here.
