hsbc.co.in works with Iceweasel / the season is here
Here is some good news for all users of HSBC India net-banking on Firefox-derivatives. http://www.hsbc.co.in/ seems to work pretty well in its new avtar with Firefox and its derivatives (like Iceweasel on Debian).
Prior to their revamp, we would need the User Agent Switcher extension to masquerade as Internet Explorer 6. That stopped working after their recent re-design (which had plenty of JavaScript kludge that would just refuse to work with Firefox). And as of today, the HSBC India website seems to work fine without the user agent switcher (Their "verified by visa" and "mastercard securecode" still seem to require User-Agent spoofing though).
Update: This seems to work on Debian Sid/XFCE but not on Debian Etch/Gnome. I haven't investigated why, yet.
In other news, K, V and J are respectively taking the plunge, throwing in the towel and biting the bullet in the next few days. I am off to Hyderabad on the 24th to attend V's wedding. Tempting as it might be to travel to Delhi and meet J and a whole bunch of other junta, I am not too sure if I would be able to make it to his wedding ceremony early February. It is that time of the year, I guess :)
