I finally figured out why I kept getting an error on the Peterson's site. You have to enable 3rd party cookies for it to work. I kept getting the dreaded 500 error. I followed Peterson's directions about adding nelnetsolutions.com and ilrn.com to the accepted sites. It still didn't work. I downloaded Firefox and it worked with that program.
However, when I changed the settings in Explorer 8.0 to accept 3rd party cookies; the site worked fine.
This also works on the sparksnotes site. Over the weekend they added new video ad content which after being forced to watch, wouldn't go away.
I finally emailed them and the webmaster said to change the setting for 3rd party cookies; I did and both sites - peterson's and sparknotes works fine now.
I intend to change back the settings and only use them on Peterson's and sparknotes.
All is now right with the world!
