It also looks like BigKev needs to investigate still further if multiple refreshes are required in order to enable data entry in the Owner Registry Submission screen, Kev? As to Detroit in 2013, I KNOW I owe you Big Time Roger, unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to accept your invitation to attend. But there will be some Aussies there though, good guys, see the excerpt from my Wade's Workshop Blog below: Quote: Ozstatman wrote:Monday 5th December 2011......I have had very very valuable assistance in this purchase from Barry Smith and through his US connections have had the car appraised by 2 Packard experts who report a rare find. The US connections required no recompense for their time or considerable travel expenses and as a bursary to the valuable and treasured assistance from Barry I have donated a sum toward the Packard Proving Ground reconstruction....and will be in attendance at the opening in June 2013 where the Barry Smith window of the bedroom of two of Charlie Vincent's daughters will be dedicated. Meanwhile I await delivery[/i]...." However I do have plans afoot for visiting Hershey this year. So if you in attendance there we can catch up and laugh  or cry  as the case may be.Quote: Guscha wrote:....Bear up! Gerd, as for you, this in becoming unBearable!

So I went through the refreshing and about on the 4th try the entire page loaded. I believe that BigKev purposely designed the "Add" page to load those first three data elements, one at a time - that is, as each is completed. IIRC, this was done to help minimize errors that would affect grouping and sorting of the database of completed entries by model. As I understand it, the routine uses the entry from the data element just completed to preload the relevant subset of choices to the dropdown list for NEXT data element. You see, Series doesn't always correspond to Year on a one-to-one basis; 1949 could be either 22nd or 23rd Series. (This might explain why some years appear twice in the Year drop-down list.) Also, instead of loading ALL body number from 1899-1958, ONLY those for the chosen Series are loaded for the Model dropdown menu. For example, only models fitting the "56nn" template will appear for 56th Series entries. It is only after you hit "Go" for the Model field that the rest of the form will appear. Or, are you saying that you have to hit your browser's

I need to change the name to....... KIKERS...... tell me what I need to do..... Had a look at that dealer entry but couldn't do anything with it. Which after my last kerfuffle with Roger's Owner Registry Entry might be just as well. Looks like another job for BigKev!

To BH:
"...Or, are you saying that you have to hit your browser's "Reset" button, after completing any one of those first three elements, to get the next one to load?" Yes that is exactly what I have to do - hit the refresh button to get to the next one. --Roger--

RogerDetroit -
Oops, I meant your browser's "Refresh" button (not "Reset", and have gone back to correct that), but it appears that you understood what I meant. No, you should not have to do that to move on to loading the subsequent data elements (and full form) - though, on dial-up, I do expect a reasonable delay while the the necessary data is compiled to regenerate the screen. Yet, that it generally works without incident for me makes me wonder what might be different on your end of the equation, than mine. BTW, what is your platform and browser? Meanwhile, I hope we'll hear from others who may have experienced similar problem. Perhaps, then, we might find a common thread that will help point to a solution.

I was finally able to load my car on to the registry by using the refresh botton on my browser to go to the next page. If you just hit the enter key all you get is a blank page. Then hit the refresh button and the next page comes up. This is a little confusing and not well explained, if indeed that is how it is supposed to work?

Rod, thanks for persevering and for the error report. The webmaster is back from vacation and will abate the nuisance.
