i was wondering if anyone knows of a program or a plugin for safari that will make websites "think" that the instance of safari you are running is internet explorer. does something like this exist? and where would i find it at?

If you enable the Debug-menu in Safari, you can spoof all you want.

To enable the Debug Menu in Safari : Quit Safari first, then open up the Terminal App (located in the utilities folder inside of your applications folder), then type this

defaults write com.apple.safari IncludedebugMenu 1

then open up safari and you should see the Debug menu next Help in the Menu bar and you can change how websites recognize your browser under the "user agent" subtitle

ok, i got the debug menu to come up, but when i try to go to the page that need to be viewed by i.e. only it still says that i need to have i.e. 5.5 or newer, even though i have i.e. 6 selected in the debug menu

is there anything else to try, i just tried OmniWeb and i can view it, but i don't want to buy that program, i would like to get it to work in either Safari or FireFox.

Thanks for all your help guys.

use Omniweb - it works. You don't have to pay for it to use it - though it's such a great browser, you probably should. (version 4.5 can be used indefinitely for free, version 5.0 will require a license after 30 days or something (actually 30 launches on different days))

yes, i do like OmniWeb, and it is able to bring up my softphone. The only problem I'm having with OmniWeb is that it will not let me connect to a Citrix Server. I can connect to the same Citrix server using Safari. I'm not sure why. Has anyone had any success connecting to Citrix Servers using OmniWeb. If I could get OmniWeb to work with the Citrix Server I would use it for sure. Anyone got any ideas?
