JavaScript DoPostBack and other issues in Safari 5.1.4+

Hi all,

A certain bank's web page stopped working for me after I installed Safari 5.1.4. The failure is a blank page or no response when the link calls for runscript:dopostback(...) It was NOT fixed by Safari 5.1.5. The Java test at http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp fails. I have Java Update 6 installed.

I found this page https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2542056 but it's been a long time ago. I am downloading Java and Safari to reinstall offline, but if anyone else knows about this problem, please let me know.

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Safari 5.1.4 & .5

Well, the bank suggested I refresh the page when the URL ends with /AccountListing.aspx. After refreshing, then it works. I don't know why, but I hope this helps someone else. The bank also said they were waiting for their service provider to fix the issue, so apparently it is NOT a Safari problem.

Hope this helps someone else. Thank to everyone who commented on this post!

To anyone out there with a similar problem, the bank says Safari 5.1.7 does not have this issue. http://blog.centralnational.com/index.php/2012/03/safari-users-in-online-banking
