Hi Monks, I've been searching and trying to figure this out for a few days and have come to the conclusion that I don't know what the heck I'm doing. Can a girl get a little help? I need to access the "Students" > "Search for Sections" page of this website: https://admin8.gtc.edu/wa/wa I'm just on the first step... returning the contents of the page. I'll worry about following links after I've got this step done. I'm getting the error "Javascript is currently disabled." I thought JavaScript::SpiderMonkey would take care of that... but I guess I'm doing something wrong. Help?
