Cannot Post A Classified Ad

I have been trying for days to post an ad on Craigslist---a simple, not controversial ad for some collectible figurines. After I fill in all the blanks and do all that is necessary, I get this message: "To finalize your post, type each of the following words into the box below and click continue." There are no words and no box only the word "continue" and when I click it, it gets me nowhere. I have tried using different words and categories for my ads.. I have tried about 12 times....nothing works. There is also a triangle with an exclamation mark at the BOTTOM AND IT SAYS: Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SearchToolbar 1.2; GTB7.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; HPDTDF; .NET4.0C)Timestamp: Sun, 3 Jul 2011 01:47:14 UTC Message: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an objectLine: 43Char: 5Code: 0URI: https://post.craigslist.org/k/PNCFghOl4BGCnSahdd2kzw/e2qig?s=captcha What can I do to post?

This is a persistent problem encountered by some Craigslist users, and I'm sorry for your difficulty. Sometimes refreshing the page might solve the issue. (Use a full refresh, often called by Ctrl-F5.) Or you could try relaxing your security settings to allow all scripts.

Otherwise, my best suggestions are as follow

Switch browsers. If you're using Internet Explorer, switching to Mozilla Firefox, for example, or Google Chrome, might do the trick.

--or--
Adjust your Internet Explorer settings. In IE 8, follow these steps:
1. Click on “Tools,” and then “Internet Options” from the Internet Explorer menu.
2. Select the “Security” tab.
3. Click the “Custom level” button.
4. Under the “Miscellaneous” section, locate the “Display mixed content” sub-section.
5. Select the “Enable” option, and then “OK.”
6. Click on “Yes” to approve your settings change.
