Firefox + IETab?? There has to be a way to somehow emulate IE, or at least fool the server into thinking it is IE. I'm not sure if that website does a browser check or not. Besides, IE doesn't conform to the true internet standards. F*** 'em. I own two XP machines and I still use anything but IE for that reason.

We have a donor system at the company I work for, and they made the system IE only. It's ridiculous, but unfortunately it's the way of the world until Firefox, or Safari have a greater share of internet users. FF is coming along, but it's still got quite a ways until it overtakes IE.

Right now, I'd say give Parallels a shot, or maybe Crossover?

Only lazy programmers and suits who don't care about open access write sites for IE only.

I'll post a link to the OS X version of IE; Microsoft stopped supporting it and no longer offer it for download.

They use ActiveX (ugg), there's no way around it using a Mac browser. He'll need to use IE6, either through CrossOver/Wine, a Virtual Machine, or using BootCamp to boot in to Windows.

Like I said, it uses ActiveX, he can spoof all he wants but it's still not going to work.:p
