Last night, the online shopping website of ASDA seemed to be undergoing some upgrade: the service was quite unreliable. In fact, for more than half an hour, clicking on any links on the web page did nothing.

When finally it got back to normal, seems it did not like IE any more: it was impossible for me to add any items to my shopping basket. As I had been aware that ASDA was not compatible with Firefox when checking out, I thought adding items to basket should work fine, so I opened a new tab in Firefox to access ASDA.

It turned out to work just fine under Firefox. When everything was added and we were satisfied, I just proceeded to check out under Firefox (which had not worked out of the box, I had to modify the dom tree to get ride of some broken javascript function calls to make it work). After the successful page shown up, I realized that ASDA is now compatible with Firefox, finally! That’s nifty.
