I see a lot of really helpful advice thrown here. So, for what it's worth, I'll give you what's happened to me.... Long story short: I purchased what appeared to be a really outstanding LPI backed course to prepare for my Linux LPI Certification exam (101 & 102). I asked a lot of questions of the rep that I spoke with at SmartCertify.com, then made the decision to purchase the course. The price was great and it had just been released by LPI, so I wasn't sure that I would get it anywhere else. Supposedly this was an exclusive arrangement between LPI and SmartCertify. Lo' and behold, I find upon getting into the course that they use a proprietary front end player called SmartForce to run the Graphical environment of the course that allows me to actually type and see Linux command line results in the course. A great idea, except.... ...the only Java client that will work with this course is.... ...ready for this? Yep! You guessed it! M$'s Java!! Sun's Java will NOT work with this Web-based course I purchased. What irony, I thought as I steamed. A Linux course that can only be run on a Windows PC. No, I was not laughing over the irony, and needless to say, I do not have good attitude toward this certification company or LPI for creating the course as it is. That's what hurts most: LPI designed this, not SmartCertify.com. Of course, SmartCertify states that they were so upset with LPI for not letting their people in on the design of the course, as supposedly they are with the other certification programs that they provide. To be fair to SmartCertify, they are one of the largest providers of training tools for computer certifications. Apparently...not so for LPI. OK, I enjoyed this chance to spill my guts about my debacle with SmartCertify and LPI. But, the story leads me to a possible explanation for your problem. It's possible that the banks programmers have used M$-specific Java coding and it won't work with anything but Windows and Internet Explorer. Period. Done deal. If you haven't already done so (and assuming that none of the suggestions made thus far worked for you), I would call the bank and see if they will let you talk with one of the programmers. Ask him/her if they used M$-specific Java coding for the site. Ask them if it has been tested to work with Sun's Java Runtime. I have learned, very expensively, that not all Java is alike. HTH, T
