All the critical processing has to be repeated server side anyway, otherwise a hacked browser could be used to inject bad data. The scripting can increase the interactivity of the user interface, but, unfortunately that is mainly done to impress the user, not for for valid banking or security reasons. Good design would make the client side gimmickry degrade gracefully, but that requires more money on programmers and designers. I think the chances of finding banks that work without client side scripting are becoming vanishingly small. _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
