Chrome browser does not display form field names for credit card;

Firefox browser seems most successful: shows tooltips; and after entering credit card info, it has a popup window w/ confirmation number and "OK" button, but pressing "OK" button then goes to web page "Notice: An error occurred: NoSuchFlowExecutionException"

At Northeastern, we seem to have black-and-white scan only on the copiers. There is a color scanner in the library that is optimized for pictures --- and so it changes the white background of a printed page into black. (Or maybe it's a copyright protection thing.) Then be sure to "crop" on the library machine before e-mailing to yourself. Then use gimp with right-button on the image. Choose "Select/By Color", and select the gray background that the library produces. Choose "Edit/Fill with BG color" (which should then display as white).
