Move your king two squares and make your move. It works.

Also the squares between the king and castle must not be under threat

Learn how to play chess, the moves and basic rules, before attempting to play. Try it, seems to work for the rest of the chess world.

Rules of chess have nothing to do with the interface for an internet chess site.

to Oddjob291: rochade is the french word for castling, but thank you for your prolific contribution.

Yes, Rochade. My cousins name. Only kidding.
A "rochade" is moving your pawn sideways to the left, then forward 3 times. You can only do that twice in a game.
