But isn't the purpose of the log-in button merely to act as a choke point where they distribute the users to the servers? Once you are logged in (and the appropriate cookies created) can't you then use your own stripped down Web pages for some things - such as submitting express orders, as Jon Tara has demonstrated? In other words, doesn't your frame setup work OK after you have logged in? And Rene has shown a stripped down Web page with just the log-in buttons to make getting to them (i.e. off disk) much faster. Using at least these things is better than just accepting what Datek decides to offer. As I indicated to Jon on the other thread, what we really could use is a Netscape plug-in which can filter the output from Datek and format it to our liking. Netscape is supposed to make the source code for Navigator 5.0 public. Now THERE'S a chance to fix a lot of things. How about a filter which bans banner ads?
