So I went to pay my California taxes from Further Confusion. Pretty simple, until I got to the payment part. I chose ‘pay by bank transfer’. I was able to cut and paste my bank’s routing number into the field for that just fine, but trying to paste my account number into the space for that? Nothing.
Grrr. They’ve don that stupid shit where they think it’s more “secure” to not be able to paste stuff in. Well, whatever. Inspect element. Discover ‘onpaste=”return false”‘. Remove that, and bingo, I can paste.
Then I have to do that again for the second field where you’re supposed to type that number again to make sure you did it properly. Sigh.
One of these days I should really see if I can make a rule for my adblocker that will strip out this particular kind of smartassery, because I have never once found a place where not being able to paste stuff into a text field was a good thing.
