It seems from the answer I got then that there is something wrong with 
the browser setup I have.

It must be the same problem which also prevents the 
http://integrals.wolfram.com/ web site to work for me also when in 
firefox.

I go there and the 'compute' button does not work. I click it and 
nothing happens.

However, the button that says 'choose another random example' works. 
But from IE the 'compute' button becomes active and it works.

I have no idea what is wrong. I enabled Java and Javascript, allowed 
popups, removed the Yahoo bar from the browser just in case, and 
removed the DOM inspector extension from firefox as well, and 
restarted and it still does not work.

this is my browser:

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) 
Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6"

I'll try to uninstall firefox and do a fresh install may be that will 
make it work. If I find out what is wrong, will update.
