Trying to access a website that only works on IE

[Berryracer]

My Wife is trying to access a website but it tells her it only works on IE

www.manpower-me.com

it is a recruitment website

now on my Windows 7 that site works with Firefox and with Chrome

She tried installing Chrome on her Mac Book Air but no luck, when she clicks on the register button or Login button the page just refreshes as if noting happened

any help ? please advice

thanks

Install User Agent Switcher

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...r-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg?hl=en-US

Switch the User Agent to Internet Explorer, and it will work. Just tested on Chrome on OS X 10.8.2.

Just for reference, you can also do this in Safari out of the box.

You just need to go into preferences, advanced then at the very bottom click the check for "show develop menu in menu bar"

Once you've done that, then go to whatever site you need to trick the browser detection for and click on the Develop menu then user agent then select a Internet Explorer version and refresh.

Should do the trick.

This can sometimes also be a handy trick if you select a user agent of iPhone for sites that detect and make the site clutter free of ads.

Write to the website and tell them to make their website less shitty. Seriously, who does IE-only sites anymore?

Also, what effowe and lokiju said.
