    Although it doesn't address the root cause, I would be tempted to try to workaround the problem.  For instance, check if the Continue button is enabled after you populate the other fields.  If not clear the browser cache, reload the page and try the process again.  I'd do it in a loop that only tries again once or twice so you don't get stuck in it.

we think alike. since the continue button is not enabled until after the text boxes are filled i coded my workaround like this

launch browser/URL

while (continue button is disabled)

{

     // fill in text  boxes

     if (continue button is disabled)

     {

          close browser

          relaunch browser/URL

     }

}

click continue button

 

 

this appears to be working for now.
