I have this problem in Karmic, too. When SCIM was default in Jaunty, I was able to type... but it was not Chinese. It was messed up as though it was in the wrong encoding. Coping and pasting (if I remember right) would work. The website worked fine on Firefox in Windows, though, so I don't think it had anything to do with the website itself.
Just in case, here's the website where I had the problem (choose the first section, then Vocabulary, and then the typing game): http://edu.ocac.gov.tw/lang/chineselearn/
