Bank says Java not Unix compatible
Hey all
St George, a major Australian bank has an internet banking site that uses Java. Unfortunately, it only works with, and supports (Windows NT, 98, ME, 2000, XP) MacOS (9.2, 10.1, 10.2)
In Mozilla-firefox in Linux the applet is grey except for a little red cross in the left top corner.
A small discusson is here http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug-chat/2004/02/msg00094.html
How can we encourage St George to embrace Java's cross platform operability?
Their compatibility page is here https://www.stgeorge.com.au/int_bank/get_start/systest/default.asp
I have included St George's response, and a copy of the java console if it interests you.
