I've reproduced this bug using the following systems using Mozilla 0.8.1
Linux:
Linux 2.4.2, XFree86 4.0.2, glibc-2.1.3
Mozilla Build ID: 2001032614
Windows:
Windows 2000 Professional (workstation), service pack 1
Mozilla Build ID: 2001032319
Unfortunately to personally verify this bug with a page from a real webserver
you will need a SunTrust bank account. At to bottom of this submission I've
enclosed a dump of the source for the culprit page.
It is possible that the script itself is in error but I can't tell since I don't
know javascript. The page is supposed to display two drop down boxes. The
First box ("account number") should show (in this case) a single account number.
The second box ("for date range") should show the options: <last seven days,
current period, last period>. Finally, there should be a table that displays
various withdrawls and deposits, their corresponding dates and check numbers, a
"description," and a picture of an envelope that is a link to a (probably
javascript pop-up) to query customer service about the transaction.
I have (obviously) changed some of the data on the page to protect my privacy
but the code on the page should be intact. Also know that the code I am
enclosing is for a page that displays inside a frame. I have not included the
picture corresponding to the page's links but I think you'll get the idea.
One final note is that Mozilla choked in Linux when trying to view the frame's
source. After right-clicking on the page and selecting View Frame Source in the
resulting menu, Mozilla opened a new window with a gray background and the
words: "unrecognised command". The new window had no toolbars or menus as a
normal Mozilla source listing window would.
I hope this helps.

The HTML in this bug doesn't seem to be enough to reproduce this problem, but
from reading your description of the problem I think this could be a duplicate
of bug 69785, what do you think? Did this work in earlier versions of mozilla?
Comment 4•24 years ago

This is my bank too. They now have this disclaimer on the site:
Netscape 6.0 is not compatible with SunTrust Internet Banking at this time.
Netscape has chosen to alter their communication standards resulting in this
incompatibility. In the interim, SunTrust recommends you not install Netscape 6.0.
If you have already installed version 6.0, please uninstall the 6.0 version and
install
a previous version. If we may help you with your Internet Banking service, please
contact us at 1-800-382-3232.
Is this their problem or Mozilla's problem?
Comment 5•24 years ago

Adding myself and Arun so we can figure out the evangelism related issues.
Comment 6•24 years ago
|
||
Adding Chris too...
Agreed - the statement from the web site:
"...
Netscape has chosen to alter their communication standards resulting in this
incompatibility. In the interim, SunTrust recommends you not install Netscape
6.0.
..."
is really not nice.
The "DEMO" pages are located at https://internetbanking.suntrust.com/DEMO/index.html
They appear to be _similar_ to the actual banking pages but are not the same
(the demo pages have more working functionality in Mozilla than the
real thing for some reason). In any case they aught to be good for a
developer trying to approach "compatability" with this site. You don't need to
be a Sun Trust customer to use the demo.
Aside: Sun Trust's attitude is pretty poor. Also, even when their pages do
work on that other browser they are lacking a lot of functionality that I have
seen at many other bank, credit card and credit union sites. I guess they
bought the cheapest programmers and support contract that they could find.
Overall the message seems to be: You want internet banking? OK, then you're
going to do it our way and your're not going to like it.
Note: The latest linux Opera browser seems to work ok with the site ... you can
compare Mozilla vs. proper page rendering without having to use windows.
Konqueror doesn't seem to work with this site.
Well I have contacted SunTrust, who gave me the name of thier dev folks and some
contact info. I called the dev folks but got voice mail. I will report back in
24 hours or so, provided I have made contact with the dev folks.

I sent a note asking them to work with Netscape to fix this ASAP, gave them the
URL of this bug. This is the (prompt) response I got. Maybe another avenue?
-----------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Vaandering:
Thank you for contacting SunTrust Online. We are ready to talk to them when
they do contact us. If you have any further questions please email us back.
Thank you for choosing SunTrust.
Sincerely,
HParmar

Eric Van.,
Can you supply me and Marcio Galli (listed here also) the contact info. of the
parties you dealt with? Let's see if we can talk them :-) Send us e-mail
directly.
Comment 12•23 years ago
|

I didn't really get in touch with anyone, just filling out a request form on
their website. The person who wrote back (as I recall) had an e-mail address
like info@suntrust or something equally generic.
However, I can't see any problems with pulldown boxes on the site using a build
from May 21. Mozilla 0.9 has problems. I don't do much aside from checking
transactions so maybe Rob Ellis can check this too?
The "nasty" disclaimer is there, so maybe there is an evangelism issue to get it
removed since it now seems innacurate.

Contacted via their web page feedback page. Waiting to hear what the problem is.
Comment 15•23 years ago
|
||
Like I said, the site seems to work for me now with recent versions of Mozilla
(changed between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1, I think).
It may be that the only evangelism thing to take care of is to get them to
suggest 6.1 instead of 6.0. This, of course, assumes that a bug in 0.9.1 was
fixed to allow their valid HTML/JS to run rather than mozilla now supporting
something non-standard.
BTW, I did go back and verify that older versions of moz don't work.

Comment 18•23 years ago

As of today, their main website www.suntrust.com is completely blocking access
from mozilla 0.9.3.
I've sent the following note via their message capability. Needless to say I am
really getting quite upset with my bank:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Your main website www.suntrust.com has recently started completely blocking
Netscape 6 and the Mozilla browser it is based on.
This is a large mistake IMO. First, as far as I have ever been able to tell,
Netscape 6.1 and more recent versions of Mozilla work just fine with your site.
I can do all of my Internet Banking with no problems whatsoever. Second, if you
believe there might be problems you should
1) Put a disclaimer that there might be problems, but still allow people with
these browsers to access your site
2) Work with mozilla.org to fix the problem. (As I said, I don't think there are
any.)
As a customer of yours I don't appreciate being told to downgrade my web browser
to access your service and if this treatment continues I may very well begin
looking for another bank that takes a more reasonable view.
Finally, the issues with your site are being tracked at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73894
and quite frankly from what is shown there, it would appear that you have been
quite unresponsive to offers to help clear up this problem.
Comment 19•23 years ago

Forgot to mention that maybe someone show gets their Mozilla to masquerade as
NN4 or IE can take a look at their site and see if there really are any issues
of if they are just blocking us for the heck of it.

Comment 32•23 years ago

https://internetbanking.suntrust.com/ no longer blocks mozilla intentionally,
but their javascript code does not work with Mozilla while using the internet
banking portion of their site. You can login, but once inside, you can't
navigate to any other areas (such as view your account ledger in detail, pay
bills, etc).
I think the root of these problems is this JavaScript error:
Error: nav has no properties
Source File:
https://internetbanking.suntrust.com/scripts/serverext.dll?ExecHTML&Set=V1&Success=HTML_Navigation_Main.html&SessionKey=ecd3d40dcf6913211bde19bfab2bbf18&FI=SUNTRUST&Set=V1
Line: 81
I have attached two files. One is the HTML output from serverext.dll when I get
that error. The .js attachment is referenced by the javascript code in the first
attachment, so it might help.
Comment 33•23 years ago
|
||
I'm a little confused. I can view the info about my account. Never had any
problems and don't see any error messages. Don't know about paying bills, I
don't do that.
Comment 34•23 years ago
|
||
Talking to Eric Vaandering via private email reveals that he is able to access
certain parts of SunTrust's banking site that I cannot. He is using Mozilla
0.9.9 on Linux. I am using 0.9.9 on Windows (XP), and I have experienced these
same problems with the last two milestones as well. (I can't recall if the
problems were still there previous to those, I didn't use mozilla much then.)
Clearly there is a problem though, since I get the javascript error about 'nav'
every time. I also get another javascript error while in that site, after
clicking on certain links:
Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to set property Window.status
If I look in Edit >> Preferences >> Advanced >> Scripts & Windows, I *do* have
the option checked off that allows a site to change the status bar text with
javascript. So I can't figure out why I'm getting this error, either.
Comment 35•23 years ago
|
||
Somebody must be making some progress on this. It is now working for me since
last night, with no changes on my end. I am now not getting the javascript
errors. If someone here was able to get someone at SunTrust to fix this, THANKS!
I think this bug can be closed now?
Comment 36•23 years ago
|
||
I don't think it should be closed. A visit to http://www.suntrust.com still
brings up the very nasty message about Netscape 6, blocking the user from
further action.

The homepage does work for me in the Mozilla milestone 1.0. I don't know why I
am not allowed to file a "worksforme" status.. did I lose/abuse that
priveledge.. anybody higher up want to tell me?
In addition, accessibility (access) refers to accessibility of webpages *and*
disability issues.. enlighten me.

I am still getting the following message when I got to www.suntrust.com
I am using Mozilla 1.1a Build 2002061104
Your browser is not compatible with www.suntrust.com at this time.
If you are using Netscape 6.x, Netscape has chosen to alter their communication
standards resulting in this incompatibility. In the interim, we recommend you
use one of the following browsers:
* Netscape (4.08 – 4.77)
* Internet Explorer (4.0 or higher)
* AOL (4.0 or higher)
If you are using AOL or Internet Explorer 4.5 on a Macintosh, we recommend you
download and utilize Internet Explorer 5.0 to optimize your experience on our site.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. If you have any
questions, please contact us at 1-800-382-3232.

I concur. I am still seeing this error with both the 1.0.0 browser (Win2K) and
1.1a browser (WinXP). Perhaps the person who sees it as working has mozilla
sending an altered user-agent header?

I talked to the SunTrust pc banking phone support people again on 7/5/02 and
they state they have not been given any date at which they expect this to be
resolved. Today I encountered a similar block with CapitalOne
(www.capitalone.com) when attempting to access my credit card information.
I don't recall having this problem before, but it's possible that in the past I
had already switched to 4.7x because of SunTrust. Is this a broader problem
than SunTrust and, if so, is the burden on our side to fix things?

re suntrust, I will see what I can do. re capitalone, spoke with them today and
hopefully this will be resolved in the relatively near future.

For more info on the Capital One incompatibility problem see Bug #89853.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89853
Just like the SunTrust message Capital One seems to imply there is a problem
with Mozilla.
The site seems to work fine until you try and log on, then you get the non
compliant browser message. Mozilla 1.1a on Windows is able to make a 128 bit
SSL connection to their site. I don't know about Netscape 6, but CapitlOne
seems to feel that Netscape 6 poses some kind of security risk.
The biggest issue seems to be "You are using a browser that is incompatible with
our Online Account Services system".
Here is a link to the incompatible browser message page.
https://service.capitalone.com/non_compliant.html
This is the text of that page:
******************************************
Browser Alert
You cannot access Online Account Services with your current Web browser.
Possible reasons for this could be one of the following:
* You are using Netscape 4.0 through 4.07 or Netscape 6.0, which we cannot
support for online account transactions due to security reasons.
* You are using a browser that is incompatible with our Online Account
Services system. We recommend you use Netscape versions 4.08 through 4.7 or
Internet Explorer versions 5.0 or higher.
* Your browser does not support 128-bit encryption.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause but, with these policies, we strive
to keep your account information as secure as possible.

I am both customer and stockholder of Suntrust (ticker STI). I called an
ordinary online banking rep this morning to complain that I need to backlevel my
browser in order to access their web site. I informed the rep that Mozilla 1.1
had been been released this week but I couldn't access the web site with it. I
got basically the same story as previously reported, that they are aware of the
problem but have no ETA on a solution. Next I tried calling STI stockholder
relations, talking only briefliy to a rep who didn't know what to suggest except
to try again at online banking but ask immediately for a supervisor. When I got
a super he indicated that Netscape 4.78 was the newest supported non-IE browser.
I then mentioned that Netscape 4.78 was long ago replaced by 4.79 and recently
by 4.8, that Mozilla 1.1 was released this week, that Netscape 7.0 was released
this week, that new Linux distros, which have never had an IE option, have begun
omitting Netscape 4.x and replacing it with Mozilla and/or various Gecko based
renditions, that Netscape 6 was already very old and should have been
accomodated already, that the webmaster;'s job would be easier to design to
modern web standards instead of archaic browsers, and that turning customers
away because they didn't like using old browsers was bad for business. He
responded with many words of apology, repeated that that department is aware of
the problem, and little more, with one main exeption. He suggested I write to:
Office of the President
SunTrust Banks, Inc.
P O Box 26150
Richmond, VA 23260
For any who may be interested, here is the address from my STI dividend check stub:
Suntrust Banks Inc
P O Box 4625
Atlanta, GA 30302
Online banking phone given me is 800 382-3232
Stockholder relations phone given me is 800 568-3476
I reached those numbers via transfers from other SunTrust departments.

In the past week I've confirmed that SunTrust blocks both Mozilla 1.1 and
Netscape 7.0. I called my online banking support rep again and got the same
story as before - no known ETA for resolving this. I told the rep (and
followed up with an email) that this nonsense had been going on too long and
the time had come to "vote with my feet". Adjacent to my SunTrust branch
office is a Bank of America office. As far as I can tell at this point,
B of A does not block access and has free bill paying - both a significant
improvement over SunTrust. And that's just the first place I checked!
Comment 52•22 years ago

I received a letter from Craig J. Kelly, Executive Vice President, dated August
1. He claims that version 6.0 was introducted just as SunTrust was launching
its re-designed web site. He further states, "At the moment, we are nearing
completion of a project that will make our site fully compatible with the latest
version of Nescape." He does not provide an estimated date for roll-out.

I just went to https://internetbanking.suntrust.com/, which is a frames site,
via Mozilla history. I had just gotten my login password in the mail. Login was
successful. I was able to access my account summary and detail without any
apparent glitches.
Upon logout, after a short period, there was an automatic redirect to the
unsupported browser page http://www.suntrust.com/common/errorbrowser.asp. I
clicked the back button immediately and was returned to my account detail page,
even though I had logged out.
I do no subscribe to online bill pay service, so have no idea whether that
works. Going to http://www.suntrust.com/ still results in an immediate redirect
to http://www.suntrust.com/common/errorbrowser.asp
Comment 54•22 years ago

I think this bug can be boiled down to this:
SunTrust's main website (http://www.suntrust.com/) does NOT like Mozilla.
SunTrust's banking website (https://internetbanking.suntrust.com/) DOES like
Mozilla.
I am a SunTrust internet banking user, and have had that last URL bookmarked for
a long time now, and have not had any problems using online banking for many,
many months. (Back when there were javascript errors on that site.)
I do use the online bill pay, and it works as well. I don't see any usability
problems with mozilla on SunTrust's banking site any more. For all I know, their
main site might work perfectly fine with Mozilla if you fake the
HTTP_USER_AGENT. It could be just that their main page blocks mozilla due to
earlier incompatabilities... has anyone checked that?
Comment 55•22 years ago
|
||
Yes, the https:internetbanking.suntrust.com works for me as well using Mozilla
1.x. Unfortunately, the same situation exists for Capital One
(www.capitalone.com), and I haven't found a similar bypass that works for it.
Is it time to make HTTP_USER_AGENT resettable without recompiling to avoid such
blocking?
Comment 56•22 years ago
|
||
I don't think that the user-agent is their primary test. Using UAbar for
spoofing, even IE user-agent strings display the "Your browser is not supported"
message.

Just got this from SunTrust after complaining
---------------
Thank you for contacting SunTrust. Thank you for your comments.
Please note that SunTrust does not current have any plans to support
Mozilla browsers. If you have any other questions, or if there is
anything else we can do to be of service, please let us know. We are
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thank you for choosing
SunTrust.
Comment 59•22 years ago

Copied from my bug report (Bug 178795)
http://www.suntrust.com/ blocks Mozilla. Using the User Agent switching tool at
http://uabar.mozdev.org/ to emulate IE does not fix this.
https://internetbanking.suntrust.com/ lets Mozilla through. Based on the
"Browser Check" link on that page, looks like Suntrust is using
"document.write(navigator.appName + " " + navigator.appVersion)" to check
browsers. Dumb, but I'm really glad that the actual online account part doesn't
block moz.
Comment 60•22 years ago
|
||
BTW, why does the beginning of this bug report include an obscure,
loosly-related javascript error? That really confused me when my bug first got
marked as a duplicate of this one. Is there something that can be done to make
it clearer that this bug really *is* about SunTrust's crazy browser blocking?
Assignee | ||
Comment 61•22 years ago
|

Jase, because this bug was originally filed as a bug against the browser. There
is no point in testing this site again before Dec.
Target Milestone: May → Dec
Comment 62•22 years ago
|
||
Has anyone tried Netscape 7 with this site? If they block that as well, it seems
complaining about Netscape 6/7 support is more likely to get results since it
has higher brand recognition. (Then one hopes they aren't totally stupid,
blocking moz but not N7).
Assignee | ||
Comment 63•22 years ago
|
||
We have contacted them and explained that Mozilla, Netcape 6/7 are members of an
entire family of browsers.
Comment 64•22 years ago
|
||
But my point is that the help desk droid that answers these questions probably
doesn't realize this, so it has to be pointed out every time. Otherwise, we're
just complaining about another obscure browser.
Assignee | ||
Comment 65•22 years ago
|
||
Good point that when complaining to a site everyone should try to leverage
Netscape's versions of the browser to get more attention.
Comment 66•22 years ago
|
||
What you should be pointing out is that Mozilla is the foundation upon which the
next AOL version released will be based. That should get someone's attention, as
no business wants to shut out the monster AOL population. The main point of
Mozilla is standards compliance, allowing sites to be designed to a single
standard instead of a bunch of different standards-non-complaint browsers.
Comment 67•22 years ago

I don't have a problem with https://internetbanking.suntrust.com/
http://www.suntrust.com still gives the following error:
Your browser is not compatible with www.suntrust.com at this time.
If you are using Netscape 6.x, Netscape has chosen to alter their communication
standards resulting in this incompatibility.
Customer Care is open 24-7
1-800-382-3232
The more who call to complain, the merrier.
The tech I spoke to recommended that we should send a message via the secure
communications in the internetbanking section.

They have unblocked us.
Everyone who has an account please check that the site works for you and if you

Well, I get an endless Flash loop when I visit http://www.suntrust.com/
(redirects to http://www.suntrust.com/personal/Solutions/index.asp). I don't
think this is Mozilla-specific, however. Looks like they may have authored for
Flash 6 and don't support Flash 5 players...
In any case, at least it didn't turn me away for being a Mozilla user.
