'check' java?
I have the latest jre and the site still doesn't work. Using Firefox 3 on windows now.
Funny, millions of websites function perfectly fine without java. Very few websites use Java these days because of so many problems with it.
The buttons are nonfunctional using NoScript (disables javascript). Since the buttons require a script, disabled script prevents them from working.
The solution is for the developer of that site to not do that. Very simple. Just use an HTML form and it will work in virtually all browsers (and they can sell even more drugs).
If the site also requires Java (as you say), that has all the same problems as requiring javascript. If the site requires Java, then I can't think of what else for besides an applet (usually heavy).
Requiring of script violates a Priority 1
requirement of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines:
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 said:
Ensure that pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off or not supported. If this is not possible, provide equivalent information on an alternative accessible page. [Priority 1]
The statement "If this is not possible..." is usually irrelevant; it isn't that hard to make a site degrade.
In this site's case, the site should simply not use javascript for the buttons, but should use an HTML form with form actions instead. If in-page updating is desired, that can be added functionality, but should not prevent the page from functioning.
2. password should be at least 5 characters long and should be different from the username.
In the event of a password that didn't "pass", the website must provide a message asserting that that requirement had not been fulfilled.
3. e-mail address must be valid.
Again.
