The "Sign In" page at Telus Careers fails (at accepting the Privacy Agreement) if HTML5 parser is enabled.

Works with old parser.

1. Enable HTML5 parser
2. Visit http://about.telus.com/careers/en/careerOpp.html
3. Click the "Sign In" link at mid-top-right of the page.
4. Scroll to the bottom, select "I accept" and click "Continue"
5. Get failure page with message "A system error has occurred."
6. Select Tools --> Clear Recent History... and clear everything from the last hour.
7. Disable HTML5 parser
8. Repeat Steps 2 to 4.  It works in this case.  You get the login page.
9. If you want to repeat with HTML5 parser enabled, be sure to repeat Step 6 first.

I failed find the declaration of the function that Continue button's click handler calls on casual inspection.

How come it works with the old parser then?  If that was the problem, shouldn't it also fail with the regular HTML parser?

Additionally, both Chrome and IE 8 handle the page without issue.

Finding the function declaration needs more than mere casual inspection. :-)
