Bblog: Westpac: standards avoidance

Hrrm… I really hope that everything works fine in mozilla derived browsers.

Personally, I use epiphany. It was ready and working before firefox was (although I used it exclusively for a hell of a long time on IRIX last year). So, if it doesn’t work, and they’re not going to fix it – I’ll have to seriously consider switching banks.

This is an extra annoyance as Mark Tearle has gone through a fair bit of re-organising moving LA’s bank accounts over to Westpac (largely because their internet banking stuff made a lot more sense for us).

The old site was great. I only ever had one problem with it – mozilla based stuff rendered the page slightly wider than the screen. But, I’ve happily put up with that. Everything worked .No bloody java stuff required (this is due to the problems of getting a working java plugin on linux-ppc – i don’t want binary only stuff).

I could view things, bpay, export statements out into a format suitable for import into GNUcash.

So Westpac – will you loose a customer? I guess we’ll soon find out.
