easyjet web site too clever by half, prevents basic entry of From: airport
Here is a screenshot: Since it's a still, it doesn't show quite how distracting it is to have a field of vision that keeps violently changing, while one is trying to do something. I was trying to do this thing, but I'm now busy trying to un-hypnotise myself from fade transitions, and give my attention to the actual form again. Why do websitetards do this? My screenshot above does catch it mid-fade, which gives you some idea. Now, what was I doing? Trying to set the From: field, which is an airport. I type LGW, which is gatwick, and it gives me a drop-down with a single item, which I select. But it fails. Nothing happens. Confusingly, the light gray example text is "e.g. London Gatwick", but that isn't its value; it still has no value. Since I've done battle with this form before, I can remember what the geektard-induced fault with their web site is: the victim is not allowed to set the From: field to the same value as the To: field, and the To: field...
