[luau] First Hawaiian Bank and Mozilla

[Jeff Mings]

Hi Warren,

    I've also been irritated that the FHB site will deny Mozilla and 
Konqueror for no real reason.  You can't see the code that sniffs the 
browser - it's in a server-side script at 
https://fhbonline.fhb.com/site.fsp?Module=SignOn .   Just tell them that 
the same browser that is rejected (Konqueror) will be received when it 
lies about being Internet Exploder and everything is rendered 
beautifully thereafter.  They probably do this because their pages are 
so chock full of Javascript - to the point of seeming obsessive.  On the 
other hand, Central Pacific Bank, which my business account is at, uses 
Javascript mostly for the pulldowns and fairly ordinary HTML for the 
rest of the stuff.  The Lizard is warmly received at CPBI without 
hesitation.

-Jeff
