I had a policy from Bajaj Allianz. Today I tried to register for the same. It has form fields such as name id etc. It has interesting questions like mail id and confirm mail id. I typed my mail id. It take the whole mail id when I typed pa. Looked cool. When I am trying to enter confirm mail id, it did not read from the previous entered data, rather wanted me to feed it. Looked good. Manual error in copy pasting is handled well.
After putting my id and before putting the domain name I have to put @. Unfortunately I have a laptop with Swiss key board where @ comes with key stroke Alt GR + 2 instead of Shift + 2. I am habituated with it. So typed the same. Err.. It prompted me with a message you can not copy paste here. I have the option of disabling the java script and type it. Then enable the java script. Or to register from office. Both will take whatever I have entered away and have to do it again.
I copied my mail id from the mail id and pasted it in the confirm mail id by clicking right click paste.
Bajaj Allianz has a good intention of not allowing paste in the confirm mail id. But it left me with only option of pasting me the mail id. I am forced to do what Bajaj Allianz did not want. I do not understand why Alt Gr key is not allowed but right click is allowed in a site. And in case it wanted to stop pasting, then it should have blocked ctl+v instead of simillar sounding Alt GR key. I have posted the same as a feedback t bajaj Allianz and will post their reponse if any.
The error is a smaller one and won't loose any customers. I would have continued at Bajaj Allianz irrespective of the outcome. However sometimes product miss what they intend to do.

Copy paste and Bookmark
I am into Information technology. We copy and paste code lot of times from what is available freely. Once I was talking to a friend who was denouncing software proffessionals for copy pasting. Is copy pasting easy? Answer is yes, if you know what to copy and how to find it and where to paste it. It takes nothing to copy and paste it and a genious to find what to copy and where to paste and a smart proactive person to find what to copy in stipulated amount of time.
I rely on copy pasting instead of memorising everything. It saves time and enrgy and makes sure that there is no syntax error. I do customize the code. I book mark the sites which I use extensively for copying the code.
It is painful when I loose my bookmark, I have to start everything from the scratch. Google has gone one step beyond and now we can book mark using google bar. Wherever I go my bookmark follows me:)
