This was quickly identified by Michael Drake/NS team as a corrupt Url

It is:

https://passports.ips.gov.uk/epa1r1a/ctl04
On Suirrel it does not show distinction between lower case 'l' and number
1. The string "epa" is followed by number 1r1: the 'ct' by lower case 'l'.

Perhaps you should use a better font. (What's Suirrel?)

As usual, this seems to be a NetSurf+Javascript issue. On 'another
platform' with a modern browser, the page linked to from
passports.ips.gov.uk is
https://passports.ips.gov.uk/epa1r1a/Rich/Formpage.aspx and not what
Netsurf comes up with that you quote; it uses a javascript link. Even
NetSurf's partial javascript is obviously not catered for.

Whether you can get any further with NetSurf is not something I would
bother to try. I long ago gave up using RISC OS for 'serious' surfing.
Even a £28 Android tablet is more capable, unfortunately.

The solution is actually to DISABLE JavaScript for it to work. 
When enabled it tries to go to
"javascript:__doPostBack(\'ctl04\',\'\')", whatever that is supposed
to do is clearly not supported/working in NetSurf currently.

With JS disabled, NetSurf goes to the following page:
https://passports.ips.gov.uk/epa1r1a/NoScriptRich/Formpage.aspx
Which should work perfectly, being a non-JS version of the site.

Controlling Javascript

2013-01-13 Thread Chris Newman
Hi,

Sojourning temporarily in Australia, I've not kept au fait with all the
latest postings so could somebody please remind me how to enable/disable
JavaScript.

I'm using Virtual Acorn SA 4.02  on Windows XP laptop & am up to test build,
809. I have merged the latest !Boot & !System to make sure I'm up to date.

I've checke the user information in the documentation & it still says
there is no support for JavaScript.

Yours in the usual confusion,

Iconbar menu: Choices->Content
Disable JavaScript on/off.

I'm assuming that the -jsoff versions don't have this extra option icon
at all, since the -json versions seem to have the Disable option set by
default.   (Probably wisest as it makes the application less stable.)

Otherwise I'm not aware of any other mechanism for discerning which of
the versions you have (other than a much larger !RunImage on disc!)
