Filling in Japanese web form?

Question

I'm trying to submit a web form and I keep getting this message: 半角英字大文字で間にスペースを入れてください。

Google translate renders it as "Please insert a space between uppercase letters."

I can't get it to accept anything, even when I only put one letter in the box.
I've tried copy and pasting random characters from Japanese websites in various alphabets.
Any ideas? If you could give me something to copy and paste that would be amazing, I don't care what it says so long as computer says yes!
Thanks

There are two ways to write alphabets in the Japanese computing system.  One is called hankaku, which is used everywhere on the earth.   The other is called zenkaku, which is used only in Japan.

It is hard to explain what they if you are not familiar with the Japanese computing system.  Zenkaku means full-width and they are two times wider than hankaku alphabets.

However, you need not worry.  The message says "Please use capital hankaku letters and put a space in between".  Just use the capital alphabets you use when you write English, i.e. ABCD.....  They are hankaku-eiji-oomoji.

Please use half-width English capital letters and a space between them.
