Here's the solutions up to 30, which is so far the end, unless the last one is a puzzle as well.
1 = Click on the number 1
2 = Displays 2, so enter 3.
3 = III (roman numeral) so enter IV
4 = four, so enter five
5 = ooooo (five letter o's, NOT five zeros) enter six letter o's
6 = 110 (binary for 6) enter 111
7 = sept (french for 7) enter huit
8 = thgie (eight backwards) enter enin
9 = black screen, or so it appears, either select all or view the source, which shows NINE, so enter TEN
10 = Another black screen, view the source and you'll see <!--e_l_e_v_e_n shall follow--> so enter e_l_e_v_e_n
11 = eeleeveen (letter e is doubled) so enter tweelvee
12 = a_dozen, so enter a_bakers_dozen (which is 13)
13 = 13, unlucky ... (unlucky for some) so enter for_some
14 = 196, 14 squared is 196, so what's the square of 15, enter 225
15 = ..-._.._..-._-_._._-. (morse code for 15) so enter ..._.._-..-_-_._._-.
16 = un_ar_bymtheg (welsh for 16) so enter dau_ar_bymtheg
17 = 1597 (fibonacci number) so enter 2584
18 = Black screen, but look at title is says EIGHteen, so enter NINEteen
19 = A real bugger for me as I'm not using IE, so it doesn't show me what it should, so had to do a tcpdump to find out that you need to enter ___twenty___ (three underscore charters before and after the word 20)
20 = displays 20 from a file called twnt.png, so that's twenty with the e and y remove, so we want twenty one so enter twnton
21 = orziot_jiz. Letter substitution (letters are 21 chars forward) so enter psajpu_psk
22 = has_ refers to twentytwo having 9 letters, so enter has_11
23 = the hour before, what's the hour before 24? enter midnight
24 = fn_four_point_eight_nine_eight_nine_seven_nine_fou ... the square root of 24, so what's the square root of 25? enter fn_five
25 = x19, it's a hex representation, so enter x1a (26 in hex)
26 = Displays 26, but notice the background color change. Look at the source and you'll see 1a001a, another hex representation, so enter 1b001b
27 = Black screen time again, but view the source and look at the style sheet, there's something there called bbabb, b=1 a=0 so convert to binary, increment by one and convert back, enter bbbaa
28 = 28_has_feb (days in the month) we need 29, so, enter 29_has_feb
29 = tent_yew_inn (anagram of twenty nine) so enter hit_try (anagram of thirty)
30 = you win (for now)
1 = Click on the number 1
2 = Displays 2, so enter 3.
3 = III (roman numeral) so enter IV

Hehehehe - I got sent it by one a guy at TRL in an email with the subject line "Don't try this on work time!" Can't think why.....
Sorry if you all hate me for it - but it ground our office to a halt so seemed a shame not to pass it on and ruin the UK (and Candian Markus) economy!
In my defence for not getting past 20 - I am not a techie and had to look up what an IE was - sorry - I also had to have help with eleven and twenty. Given that, I'm impressed I got as far as I did - I only got the 1597 one by typing the number into Google and seeing what came up.

Sorry to drag this back to the top - but just wanted to add that in our defence, if you get to the black screen at 19 and type in the HTML code for black #000000 it does take you back to 1 again.......
