Has anyone ever registered for wbaduk before? The Test Room was mentioned in a recent thread, so I wanted to try it out. The sign up page loads, but nothing happens when I hit continue. Looking at the source code, I can see there's supposed to be a message if something goes wrong. I can only guess that the submit() function is called, but the input field isn't cleared, and I haven't received any email. I've done this in Chrome and Firefox. My problem is probably something stupid like, "They check user registrations manually, hold up a sec doc."

Actually, the problem is you have to use internet explorer. Or at least that's what I remember from when I registered.

I must admit, I still want to get on wBaduk at some point, and have failed enough times to have given up.

Yep, IE did it! You only need IE to register though. I logged in just fine with Chrome. =) Thanks all.

EDIT: Nevermind. The Test Room only works in IE again. Sounds like an .asp issue.

Shouldn't be - .asp is all server side, and shouldn't be browser specific.

Alas, missing one line of code shouldn't compromise an entire network, but it does. =) The pages that wouldn't work were the login-whatever.asp and test-room-popup-thing.asp, hence my guess.

Ok, I rephrase. .asp does nothing different between different browsers unless someone has specifically coded it to do so (such as calling activeX for IE users assuming windows and something else for others), but then that is again not an .asp issue but a separate platform issue.

A browser requests a page from a server, and regardless of .php or .asp, the browser receives processed code free of either .php or .asp - as such, the .asp or .php part of the page is not the root of the problem ;)

Not that this is very relevant I guess to the original issue, but the problem may be activeX?

They have a 32-bit ActiveX control and that's it. There is no alternative that they provide.

I never had any issues with Wbaduk on Firefox. Weird.

I'm using Firefox on Linux, but I can do everything on WBaduk (including register) just fine. The edge of it's Java windows gets cut off in the lecture windows, but that's it.
