Issues w/downloading statements from Merrill Lynch online?

Some banks are notoriously uncaring and lazy about what systems and browsers they support.

As it says in this document:

http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/

"Safari complies with standards, but not all browsers do. This article explains how to design, modify and validate your website so that it can be rendered and read properly by all major browsers."

The bank/s need to read this:

"Safari is one of the most standards-compliant browsers ever built. Thus, your best bet for ensuring your pages render properly in Safari — today’s version and beyond — is to follow web standards. For a great overview of web standards, check out Mozilla.org’s article Using Web Standards in Your Web Pages."

Using Safari 4.0.4.

Are you able to open the statements if you use one of the IE User Agent settings in your Safari?

(I'm only familiar with using the Safari for Windows 4.0.4 user agents, but perhaps Klaus or someone else could talk you through the procedure on the Mac side of things.)

Good suggestion from b noir.

If you haven't already, go to Safari Preferences/Advanced and check the box 'Show Develop Menu in menu bar'.

In the Develop menu, try one or more of the user agents.

Thanks, Klaus! (That looks pretty much identical to what we have to do on the Windows side of things ... if you get any stray Windows posters here asking about it, that advice should do the trick for them too.)
