I tried to order some electronic components thru Farnell, whose main
*business* is online ordering. They admitted that the only browser that
would work was IE and had no plans to upgrade to others - didnt see the
business need.
Richard,
Similar problems exist with St George Internet banking. It does work
with Firefox, but not with Linux anymore. A couple of years ago I
convinced them for a while to keep it compliant, but then it stopped,
I'm sure because they adopted the latest version of the MS technology on
their site.
Making the web as proprietary as possible for MS only products has long
been an MS objective, which must be resisted. Changing the bank where
you have your home loan is a bit radical, but changing a components
supplier isn't. Have you considered getting your stuff elsewhere and
telling them why?
