My bank must have recently changed one small thing on the 'Transfer Money between Accounts' page - everything else looks and acts exactly the same. There are two drop-down bars for 'From Account' and 'To Account'. You choose which 'From' account, then you choose 'To Account'. Once the 'To Account' is chosen, a little Javascript drop-down rectangle shows up below showing choices like 'One Time, Send Now', 'Recurring' etc. Once you choose then you can click on 'Continue' (which is previously unclickable until you choose) and go on to the next page.
This time it didn't show the 'One Time, Send Now' etc. and the 'Continue' button remained unclickable. Well, it was a weekend so maybe they were doing maintenance or something. Since I had changed nothing since the last time I decided to wait. Tried several different things: Waiting, making sure I had changed nothing (JavaScript on), calling bank ('Is your JavaScript on?'

'What browser are you using?' 'Mac or PC?' 'Ubuntu Linux w/Firefox.' 'OK, is that a Mac or PC?'

'Have you tried another browser like Explorer?' 'Don't have one.'), I decided it was time to get some DVD+R's, burn some important stuff, make sure (twice) important stuff was burned and try to solve the problem.
I still had the Slackware 13.37 which distorted the screen but I decided to d/l latest Kubuntu and Ubuntu and try those (I had a 50 pk DVD+R from Walmart, $21.00). Same result.
So, I went to Ubuntu Software Center, tried update (it failed being 9.10 and unsupported) but it gave me a chance to update to 10.04 LTS. Forgetting that I had previously tried 10.04 with the same result (distorted screen), I updated thinking if this worked then I could take a chance and keep updating (10.xx to 11.xx to 12.xx to

). Of course, once I rebooted I got the distorted screen.
Back to 9.10 again, and getting wireless up and the few addons I use and a few other things (always d/l'ing 'older versions'). I decide maybe it's that my old 3.5.3 Firefox isn't cutting it with my bank anymore. So I decide to install a browser or two. [I previously tried to d/l Chrome but it wouldn't let me install because dependencies couldn't be satisfied.] Googled and followed commandline instructions for Chromium. Got it working but w/same results on 'Transfer Accounts' page. OK, let's try Opera again. [Just like Chrome I had tried to get it working before but my distro was probably too old.]
This time, just like with Chromium, I googled 'Opera Ubuntu 9.10' and got some pages with commandline instructions. Copied and pasted. I should mention both browsers returned numerous 'failed to fetch' / 'can't satisfy blah blah blah' but I continued anyway.
Turns out Opera worked on the banking site! It also 'worked' with those sites mentioned in the 'websites I stopped clicking on' thread.
Additionally, I did the 'Inspect element' w/Opera in the area I was having problems with and it came up with 'Error: something something keepalive something something.js' so maybe it has something to with that.
Anyways, problem solved. Lesson: Have two totally different browsers just in case. FF for most everything but Opera for a few things. I am thinking of d/l'ing BSD and Xubuntu and playing with them. I installed FreeBSD way back when I had 10 or so distros to play with on an old eMachines 550MHz. Haven't tried Xubuntu.
Only thing different now is the red error circle in upper right panel due to Opera install but so what. Edit: Click on thumbnail to see what I'm talking about - it's just the very top of a screen grab (43 KB). I guess it depends on what kind of 'unmet dependencies' one has - as in
"Error! Engine failed to download into your car." versus "Error! Only three out of four hubcaps were downloaded. Would you like to continue?"
