Arughhhh. I just posted this in the instant and moment thread but I am so annoyed and upset I need to post it again, and if by chance anyone can offer any advice, I'd love to know!
Am currently in the assessment process for a summer internship scheme and have just done a written assessment, which involves writing an email in about 40mins. It uses a Silverlight application within a browser window in order to do this... which is where the problem begins... I used the browser they reccomended for Macs, Safari, and quickly found out of a huge, huge flaw; you can't use backspace in silverlight applications in Safari without the page going back
When writing a 40min long email, this is seriously problematic. I attempted this for a while, using up a lot of time, before moving to copy and pasting from textedit. This is against the rules but I was going to send a follow up email explaining circumstances after and hope for the best. By the time I came to submit it, I pasted in my answer, and absent-mindedly deleted something, pressed enter to get rid of the dialogue box... and I was logged out of the application.
By the time it'd loaded back up... time out, no answer submitted.
Have emailed them and notified them of the whole situation but don't hold much hope. Sad face
