So close Statistics Canada, so close... Hey, cool, I can fill out the 2006 census on-line.→[More:]

Arrrgh I am pretty sure that securely submitting a form is THEN ONE THING that we've got pretty much figured out in HTML/HTTP. THE ONE THING that you don't need a bunch of signed applets and java serveletts and crap to do. THE ONE THING!

(Oh well, it looks like they at least went to the effort to make it properly cross-browser compatiable).

I guess they couldn't justify those fat fat government contracts with "well, Jim wrote the back-end, and we got an intern to translate the paper-forms in to HTML, oh, she found a couple of bugs in your CSS by the by"

Kept crashing Firefox on me last night. After telling it where I lived three times, I eventually ditched it and used IE.

Now I feel all dirty (and not in the good way).

We got ours tonight. I'm gonna try that newfangled internets thing to fill it out.
