Ok, so I tried it again, and made sure that I didn’t use any $ sign. It worked! I got a message that flashed on the screen that said “Thank you for your Pledge!” that promptly disappeared. If I had taken the time to blink I never would have seen it. I then checked my email to be sure that I indeed hadn’t just imagined it, and it said that I had successfully registered my pledge.
A good website accepts user text input. It should then validate the input. Check for a $ sign, strip it out, and then convert the text number into a numeric. If the user enters any other nonsense characters that won’t work, the website should throw a decent user error message like: “Please use numbers only, etc.” Why should the “Thank you for your Pledge” disappear at all? Ok, I’m a little happier that everything finally worked. I shouldn’t have had to go through the process twice, and neither should anyone else who is trying to give you money. I suggest you folks fix this if it all possible. Thank you for your prompt response to my inquiry!
