The Australian Subscription recipe broken

[OzNick]

Hi All,

A few days ago the recipe for The Australian newspaper stopped working. It was working previously. I assume the website has been changed slightly. As a non-coder I have no idea how to fix this. Can anyone please help? Error message is below. Nick

PM me your username and password for that website and I will take a look.

Looks as if this was a bug in the javascript on that site that only affects older versions of webkit. This could not be fixed in the recipe only on the website.

Seems that the website has been fixed as of yesterday and the recipe is working again.

Thanks for you help Kovid.
