hello all
sorry it took me so long to respond to this
i've been using hsbc e-banking for a while and here's what i've found
ebanking works with moz/ff on windows (2k last i checked)
works with konqueror on linux with browser spoofing enabled
does NOT work with moz/ff even with spoofing
the relevant code is below.
the important thing is, it looks to see if the browser is running on win
or mac but not linux. if that little section was fixed, we'd be sorted.
especially as tehre are probably more linux boxen in Sl than macs.
i had the HSBC ebanking head's number somewhere, i'll see if i can track
it down and get in touch with her
