The IRS EIN Application also has "hours":

> Our new hours of operation [for the application] are Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Is there a good reason to do this? I'm actually curious

My only guess is a batch job that really really doesn't want data changing out from under it (and the devs were too lazy to batch up the next days changes to be submitted post-job).

In Nevada (where I pay my corporate taxes) it was claimed that hours restrictions were mandated by law ("No part of the office can be open outside of the following hours" kind of thing) I have yet to find the statute though that says that. I agree it is a very weird thing.

If you open it in IE, it asks to display insecure content. If you click yes, the site works. (You can click buttons).

They must have linked a .js that wasn't on a https.

A 3000x3000 div with a z-index of 50000 just sits on top of everything. Delete that node and the page reacts normally at least.

Those pages lead you here, which works: https://delecorp.delaware.gov/eCorp/LoginAnnualReportsCLF

Their problem is the div#forceDOMredraw which appears over everything. Good times. Remove that node and the page works again.

I can't pay my "greatly reduced taxes because I am a Delaware corp" in two seconds! Imagine if you had real problems.
