It's kind of surprising and rather irksome how often this fixes things.
Old school web design was to sniff for browsers and block "bad" ones.
Problem was new browser and newer versions of browsers often got blocked
for no good reason. This is generally frown upon in moder web design
because it's not a "future proof" technique. Zeldman wrote a book called
Designing with Web Standards which covers this, other gaffes by
companies and web developers who haven't kept up and generally how to do
good modern semantic standards based web pages. PDF version for sale here:

Dear Listers,
I am in a bit of a quandary over using my internet banking with
voiceover. I can do anything without a hitch up until let's say the
final moment when I have moved money around and want to confirm it. I
get a screen to do with certificates and an icon which says lock. I
cannot go beyond that screen. I've tried to press ok on it, I have
closed it which only threw me out of the secure site and I had to
start it again. I just haven't got a clue what to do once this
wretched screen appears. I'm sure it is a security device but I get no
isntructions on the screen as to how to proceed. I've tried reloading
the page but without success. Have you got any ideas/experiences/tips?
With best wishes
Simon
