Interactive Investor problem with website

I am having a problem with II today as the website will not let me buy or sell because , as it tells me, there is a long script running. Someone will no doubt know what that means but I am sure I do not. Help please!

Thanks in advance.

What browser are you currently trying to access with and have you tried a different one yet or tried from a different device (phone app as opposed to PC browser for instance?)

If it's a common problem to more than one browser or device it could well be an issue their end. Often mobile apps work when the main website doesn't (especially with the banks).

I have tried using Chrome and Explorer on my desktop. Both give the same message. I can also get in via the Ipad but it will still not let me buy or sell. Just called II and spoke to a very helpful young lady who did the deal for me at web rates so that solves my immediate problem. She asked me to send a screenshot (about which I knew nothing but I do now!) Amazing these computers!

She implied that it was probably their problem without quite saying so but I am interested to know what is meant by 'A long script is running' or words to that effect.

Possibly Javascript, which is common to a lot of 'interactive' websites.

Screenshots can be very useful for problem solving via third parties (like here) so it's worth learning how to do them on your PC, iPad etc.

I noted that and did wonder but the lady did not mention that as a possibility.

Anyway I will try again on Monday.
