$better_half was trying to login to Bankwest the other day and it didn’t work from the desktop. Tried a few different things and eventually tested it from the laptop which worked. The only difference between the two is that one is amd64 and the other is x86. I had a look at the source but there didn’t appear to be any wacky javascript to mess things up.
So, I thought I’d be helpful and let their web developers know:
…our home computer which used to work fine. It just returns her to the login prompt without any error message.
The system is AMD64 Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) and I had her test with both Firefox2 (2.0.0.7) and Firefox3 (beta4).
I had her test from my laptop and that worked fine.
The laptop is x86 Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) and Firefox3 (beta4).
I wasn’t expecting a great response but I got a “talk to the hand”!
