Well, it's not really my site, it's the Bank's, but I would be very
pleased if any of you could generate an error when using the
following search facility:
http://ucbswww.bank-banque-canada.ca/fastq_English.htm
This is the "Unclaimed Balances" service, where people can search for
long-forgotten bank accounts, securities and certified cheques that
have been turned over to the Bank of Canada for custodial care.
I inherited this project, and had nothing to do with its development
(though I'm quite involved in its ongoing re-development.) It's
currently ASP-based, sigh...
Anyway, a small but significant number of users, on a variety of
browsers and platforms, cannot use the application; no matter what
search strings they enter, it returns one of several (so far
irreproducible) error messages, most implying that they've typed in
too short or too broad a term.
Because of some rather unusual internal arrangements within the Bank,
I cannot directly instruct the operators of the service to "fix the
damn thing"... but I did tell them I would put a request out to my
international band of Web consultants (that's us :) to tinker with
it. I'll pass on any errors you folks encounter.
Please give it a go... enter as many and as odd a selection of names
as you wish. We want *errors*, dammit :)
(P.S. Yes, I know the imagemap at the top is way too wide for a
640x480 screen. One of many things I'm fixing.)
