Zecco should make a iPhone app to trade with, just like TD ameritrade with their iphone app = IPtrader or istockmanager.
That’ll make things so much easier

I have the account with zecco n I have iPhone. Site looks okey but the problem is when you put some order to excute.

Zecco is trying to play this off as some huge challenge, being cross-platform, when the fact of the matter is that they’ve simply hired the wrong designers/programmers. This is evident from their backwards (and I’m certain non-standard) CSS implementation which favors noncompliant browsers over compliant ones. If their site wasn’t laid out so ineptly I bet they wouldn’t be finding so many roadblocks to compliance. What’s the deal with that white half opacity layer that sits for a brief moment after you log in? All signs point to an inexperienced team of web developers at Zecco.

Maybe that’s the answer Dave. If everyone calls in it will increase their operation costs and maybe they’ll get a clue and develop a proper web app. I’m sure it’s some minor CSS changes and maybe a javascript change or two.

It’s even worse. Using a mac, i can’t cancel an ongoing ACH payment using either browser–the cancel button never shows up. I had to call in to modify the payment. I’m a web developer myself, and i think this is absurd.

zecco not working in safari 3 is a bummer…
i have firefox too so it doesn’t matter that much but
the new design is just worse.
1. no alignments
2. the boxes are not evenly spaced
3. what on earth is that half cut $0 doing there? (above trading menu), you just have to change the background…(i’m sorry that made me mad)
4. font sizes change after clicking another side menu
5. inner frames are not adjusted to size
6. button locations are not consistent
7. man i wish clicking on a stock in the watchlist opened the chart
8. zecco, if you guys can make a version that works and is optimized for the iphones, optimized for the screen of the iphone and then market that…all the iphone users that trade are yours (i’m sure it’s well over a million users)

anyone feel the same way? care to add more stuff?

i hope the site improves too…so much potential

Hate is a strong word, and is only used as emphasis. It’s a headline to grab attention, Nothing more. Apparently it’s doing it’s job. Thanks for reading.

Hello again Buckley.

Hate is a strong word, so I feel some further clarification is needed. Zecco does not hate Safari. The challenge for web companies is to deal with the many ways different browsers handle the same HTML. This is not as easy as one would think. Even Mozilla, the maker of Firefox and Camino, explained at a recent Lunch 2.0 meeting why Firefox and Camino do not perform similarly on a Mac.

That is why Zecco has made the practical decision to focus on the vast majority of OS/Browser combinations first. Safari unfortunately is not (yet) as widely used as IE and Firefox. Our fast growing company will hopefully soon have the additional resources required to expand the range browsers covered.

Happy holidays!
