And now HSBC webmasters would think that all their customers use _only_ Internet Explorer for netbanking. And there's no need to write standards compliant code.


I selected Netscape 4.8 which gives a UA of <Mozilla/4.8 [en] (Windows NT 5.1; U)> - which worked. My default UA is <Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060608 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.4>.

Can't help it - the bank handles my salary account, so I have to bend to its rules. We have had so many threads about banking services being partial to IE... maybe a heavyweight on this list can get an IT head of a bank (why not get HSBC first?) to attend a LUG meeting with the team which built these services and trash out these issues? If changing the browser UA is all that was necessary , the code changes might be actually feasible.


Could anyone provide a proper technical writeup of what changes are necessary from the server end, for the HSBC servers to work with linux based browsers?

Rony.
