Safari displaying internet explorer pages?

[whostheman_121]

I have had trouble trying to access web pages which need the internet explorer browser to look atr them but internet explorer has been discontinued for macs. How can I display these pages?

Manks thanks.

You can still use Internet Explorer on OS X, it's just an old browser for Macs that hasn't been updated in a few years, and Microsoft no longer supports it.

You can get it Here.

I have downloaded it before but it is extremely slow and stops responding

Download it Here

May I ask what pages you're trying to view?

Also, often Firefox can display some pages which Safari has problems with.

There must be some way of displaying these sites instead of using internet explorer? It's an Apple application we are talking about!

It is a website that a chelmsford university has. I will give you the link and see for yourself. Use Safari.
(P.S: Firefox doesn't work either)

You could use the Debug Menu in Safari>User Agent to mimic IE. You can use Safari Enhancer

Well, that doesn't work using the User Agent.

I have downloaded Safari Enhancer. How can I allow Safari to open Internet Explorer pages using Safari Enhancer?

 

[bobw]

In Safari Enhancer, enable the Debug Menu.
Then open Safari and go to the Debug Menu to User Agent.

I just tried your site this way and it still didn't work.

Any other suggestions?

Your problem is that the file you're trying to access when you click on that link is a dll or dynamic linked library, so I think you're going to need a windows OS

 

[bobw]

Yep, the link is 'angliapowlive.dll.html'

Not going to work on a Mac.

 

[lucidmcmillan]

Well if you have an intel mac and boot into windows...

It works fine on Macs in Internet Explorer 5.2.3.
