Description

[Per Johansson]

"Hembanken Värdepapper" is very picky, does not even support old Netscape or
Internet Explorer MacIntosh. However, the main service "Hembanken" works fine
with Mozilla.

I get this message.  Nothing works so confiming

If somebody understands it, please translate.

Cachning av Java-applets över SSL
Netscape versionen av Hembanken Värdepapper använder Java-applets.
Netscape-browserns standardinställningar tillåter inte att Java-applets sparas
på hårddiskens cache när appleten laddas över en SSL-säkrad session. Om
Hembanken Värdepappers Java-applets inte sparas i cachen så innebär det att
dessa applets måste hämtas varje gång vilket leder till långa väntetider. För
att tillåta browsern att spara applets i cachen kan du klicka på knappen 'Tillåt
cachning över SSL' nedanför, vilket innebär att applets och HTML-sidor sparas i
cachen. Om Du vill återgå till standardinställningen igen kan Du klicka på
knappen 'Tillåt inte cachning över SSL'

Translation:

"Cacheing of Java applets over SSL.
The Netscape version of "Hembanken Värdepapper" uses Java applets. The default
configuration of the Netscape browser does not allow Java applets to be saved in
the hard disk cache when the applet is loaded in an SSL secure session. If the
Java applets of "Hembanken Värdepapper" are not saved in the cache, these
applets must be fetched every time, resulting in long waits. To allow the
browser to save applets in the cache, click the button 'Tillåt cachning över
SSL' below, which means that applets and HTML pages are saved in the cache. If
you want to restore the default configuration, click the button 'Tillåt inte
cachning över SSL'"

However, the problem is that the service is designed to not allow any browser
but Internet Explorer to use it.

The whole online bank site has been remade, and only Internet Explorer is
allowed in. I have changed the summary and platform.

This is documented (in Swedish) at http://www.oeb.se/Tillganglighet

one of the best references/recommendations I've found for encouraging financial institutions to support firefox is located at bankers on-line web site 

http://www.bankersonline.com/security/security_browserthreat070204.html 

It was written in 2004 during the download.ject attack, but much of it still applies today.  This is a good link to send when contacting banks.

Site has moved to

http://www.danskebank.se/

My Swedish is nonexistent, but I don't get blocked at all. I do get an alert when trying to log in here:

https://hembanken.danskebank.se/html/index.html?site=OENB&secsystem=KO

that says

'Uppgradera Java - felaktig version 
 Se "Kontrollera din dator" i "Hur gör jag"'

I have no idea what that means, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean "IE only", so I'm going to mark this FIXED.
