And online banking that you can't use at all without javascript and with
javascript is slow clunky eye candy heap of poo. Also quite close to
ditching them.

The Santander web site mostly works without javascript except for
logging out! I did inform them about this but they are willfully
ignorant and won't change it.


I have no complaints about Santander online banking, and the current
current account with cashback and interest is a big improvement over
last year's over complicated version.
I just copy and paste into my own spreadsheet, which translates the
bank's transaction info into English.
I have tried disabling that remembered password thing for specific sites
in Firefox but every now and then I see the password pop up when I'm
typing. I probably haven't tried hard enough :-)

My only complaint re. Santander is that the .xls is in date-descending order
and no way can I get it to go the other way across all columns. The Total
doesn't follow the other columns - in fact it doesn't go in any logical
order. I've tried all methods in both Excell and Calc. Begining to get used
to it now, but haven't found a way of using the paper record in this way.

Try TableTools2 firefox extension from http://www.mingyi.org/TableTools2/. It is very good
at extracting data from websites. Some sites defeat it but it works on a some bank sites
I've tried.
