I need to switch banks and it appears they only accept the browsers on
their list.
It is an outrage that these scumbags should be telling us what browser
to use. If they wrote their code properly it would simply work with any
properly coded browser.

Do you think that respecting the http://validator.w3.org/ will do a Site
"Viewable With Any Browser" correctly ?
I have a doubt ...
No it won't. Situations in which an error-free HTML page will not be
viewable with all browsers include:
* Insufficient contrast between text color and background color.
* Assumptions that a browser window is larger than the visitor's
window, that the monitor resolution is greater than the visitor's actual
resolution, and that the monitor screen is larger than the visitor's
monitor.
That's because the person designing specified a size for Horizontal and
verical size. you want both not to be specified (float if you will) so
they size to the viewers screen.
On my Web site except the last item where I specify I am using a
different web design program (Rapid weaver) the rest is created
DreamWeaver and I don't not specify width other than by percentage in
some cases So the pages adjust to the user's screen not mine.
* Rendering that is garbled when CSS is disabled. (Some browsers still
in use -- especially audio browsers for the blind -- do not support CSS.)
I use CSS sparingly to just get the page design on each page looking
the same. And I only recently started doing it.
The RapidWeaver page use JavaScript the first and only pages I've ever
used JavaScript
* Text that is too small on a browser without a zoom capability.
Again I don't specific Fonts point size. I use X-Large, Large, normal,
small, x-small and so on
* Content contained in an image instead of actual text, where the
browser fails to display the image appropriately (e.g., stretched,
fuzzy) because of valid but inappropriate size or other attributes
(HTML) or properties (CSS).
