I've paid a number of times online even, but there is a specific trick
i use. The client-side JS is IE Specific, and so the pay button does
not update a field, and each time you click on it, it basically posts
the form without telling it to go to the next step. so you land up
seeing the same page. I use a FF extenstion like Tamper Data, and just
manually do what the JS is supposed to do(which i figured out reading
the code, basically change paymode or paystep to "ONLNE"), and let the
form post. after that, it works like a charm, and oddly enough, the
subsequent pages have the correct javascript, and i dont need to do it
again for the rest of the payment process. i've paid my last 6-7
months bills this way. BTW, mails to them about the same seem to be
going into the Customer Service(TM) Black Hole...
