twist the IE under OX-X 5.6.7

I'd like to ask you a quick question about the use of IE under OS-X.

I need to access a website that was design for IE and I'm trying to make it run under OS-X. Is a medical page and the first thing that happens is they make me download a .cab file that has 4 files inside. One .inf and other three .ocx

Without that .cab file the content of the website doesn't appear. Now, under OS-X I installed the IE and I'm trying somehow to make it see these .ocx files as pluggins. I tried to change the format (to move them from .ocx to .cfm and also from .ocx to .plugin) and add them to the content of the IE under OS-X, but is not working.

I'm pretty sure it should be a way to make the IE under OS-X to read those files but I don't really know how to do it. Can you recommend me something regarding this aspect?

thanks a lot


p.s. by the way, in case you want to help me out my email is nactus_berrilli@ymail.com

Microsoft stopped supporting IE in 2006 and only got up to IE 5 so it's quite behind. I'm not surprised it isn't working on your mac, and those files do indeed sound pc based.

Have you tried other browsers?

I saw that, but it was in his signature. Strange.
