Mac on Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer doesn't have a download for Macs, but I
need to test my web pages on that browser. Any advice?

Then you'll have to test with IE5/PC.

This does not guarantee that your site will "work" in all
browsers,
i.e., look the way you intend, it just checks to see if your
code has
any syntax errors and conforms to the form of document that
is declared
in your doctype. If your code validates, and there is still
something
wrong, this means that you didn't do something correctly when
you
created the page. It is no substitute for testing in as many
browsers as
you need to. Browser can take perfectly valid code and do
different
things with it. Usually these differences are trivial, but
sometimes you
have to make allowances for browser bugs.
I tested in IE6 and 7/PC, Safari/Mac (the only browser the
client cared
about) and Firefox/PC and Mac.

Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac.

Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac. But the page that I need keeps telling me that Adobe Flash Player still needs to be installed. I've downloaded AFP several times, and I see it installed correctly on my mac, but the same error message keeps coming up. All of the support that I see is either for mac or for Internet Explorer, but not for both and not for the version of Internet Explorer that I am using. Please help. Thank you.

Wow, IE for Mac is pretty old. What Mac OS are you using? I'm 99% sure you're going to need an older version of the Player, but I'll need to know the OS version to figure out which one.

Generally this is because the website wants to install an ActivX control. This will only work on the Windows version of Internet Explorer.
If all you need to run is a single Windows application now and again then I would recommend Crossover from Codeweavers, which allows you to run Windows applications on OS X without needing Windows itself.

Internet Explorer and FLASH??

I need help installing Flash Plug-in for Mac Version of Internet Explorer. Adobe website doesn't seem to offer a version of Flash Player for IE on Mac. Am I missing something?
Problem: We have a website which requires IE. We have a lab full of iMacs. Safari/Firefox/Opera will NOT open the pages but IE does...EXCEPT a few of the pages require Adobe Flash Player to be installed and I can't figure out how to install the Flash Player Plug-in for Mac OSX/IE.
IE does have a popup indicating it is missing a plug-in for Flash and directs you to the Adobe Site BUT there is no Flash Plug-in listed for OS: Mac OS X and Browser: IE.
Is it even possible to view Flash Content on IE for Mac?
I know how many mac fan boys are...so...please don't offer suggestions of VMWare/Parallels/Bootcamp/etc. or state that IE is inferior and I should be using Safari/Firefox/Opera/Etc. Those aren't options. If you know how to install Adobe Flash Player Plug-in for Mac OSX Internet Explorer, that's what I need.
Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom!

I assume you're speaking about IE 5.2, the last Mac version of IE? No way I know of to view Flash Content.
Have you tried changing the User Agent on Safari, Opera, FireFox, iCab etc. to some IE version?

How can I use Internet explorer in my iMac

I have some applications that require internet explorer which I cannot use in my iMac. Is it possible to do this ??

You could also get the now extremely outdated Internet Explorer for Mac: http://internet-explorer-for-mac.en.softonic.com/mac
I wouldn't recommend it, though.

Website looks messed up in internet explorer....

I created a website for my volunteer fire company with Dreamweaver 8 on my Mac. The site looked fine when I reviewed it with Firefox and Safari so I uploaded it. Then I started to get phone calls that it was fouled up looking. When others looked at it using Internet Explorer on there PC's the background images in the tables became offset and in some cases started to repeat. Is there an issue between Mac and internet Explorer or between Dreamweaver 8 and Internet Explorer. The site is www.goodwillhose.com if you want to take a look. Please, any help would be appreciated.

Yes, with CSS or inline CSS styling like so:
<table style="width: 1000px; border: 2px solid silver; background: red url(your-image.png) no-repeat top center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
Your code is invalid, owing to your use of deprecated table height values and HTML syntax with an XHTML document type.
Use the on-line code validation tool here:
HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
You might want to study this tutorial. It was written with DW8 in mind, but the basics are still the same.

If your site visitors use pre-IE7 browsers, your transparent PNG images have a light blue cast to them. Do a Google search for IE PNG Fix.

Firefox and internet explorer doesnt work with mac os 10.4.7

i can't seem to get firefox and Internet explorer to work on my g4 da mac with os 10.4.7. any suggestions...

Did they ever work for you?
Did you recently install some new software or make a hardware change to your machine?
The first rule of thumb with misbehaving applications is to erase the Application's preferences and then try it again, but that might be somewhat dangerous considering that you could accidentally erase all of your bookmarks/favorites in the process.
I'm running Mac OS 10.4.7 and I can get FireFox 1.07, 1.5, and 2.0, plus IE 5.2.3 to run, in addition to other browsers like Safari 2, OmniWeb 5.5, Netscape 7.2, and Opera 8.5 and 9.

Mac Manager and Internet Explorer

If a mac manager user puts an "*" as the URL in Internet Explorer, the desktop and other folders (which they should not see) show up and are accessable.
This also appears to affect WGM user in OS X IE.
Does anyone know how to prevent this?
Robert.

Welcome to the forums.
This is a 'feature' of IE. I think it used to exist in Safari up until v1.3
In IE your users will see the files/folders they have permission to. Admin users will see more than your regular users (eg. var, tmp, etc, etc.)
I think you will need to drop IE if you want to prevent this behaviour.
HTH,

Need internet explorer of firefox on Mac

I am going back to school and doing it online. I have done a system check with the platform my school uses and it says I must have internet explorer or firefox. Is there a mac version of these that will work? We had looked into the option of getting Parallels and windows installed but can't really afford it right now. By using either one of these is there security issues I should be aware of?

Click here and use the Mac OS X download link. Internet Explorer should no longer be used in Mac OS X.

Advisable is irrelevant... It is not possible. There has not been a version of IE for Mac for a long time. You will have to load Windows on your Mac in order to run IE, or try making your browser mimic IE. (In Safari, go to Safari -> Preferences, click the Advanced tab and check the box to show the Develop menu. Then, in that menu, choose User Agent -> Internet Explorer x.0.) Note that doing that will not work if the site relies on some weird non-standard feature of IE that no other browser on the planet has.

Help - I'm a newbie to Mac and still need my Internet Explorer browser!

macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Hi - I just purchased a macbook pro and am in the process of designing a website - after encountering problem after problem, the hosting company figured out that I'm using a Mac, and said that their program doesn't support Safari and I need to do my design through an Explorer browser. Microsoft discontinued Explorer for Mac, so what do I do? I heard of a program called Parallels Desktop - has anyone used it, will it work, or am I opening up Pandora's box by installing it on my computer? Changing hosting companies is not an option, so I need to make this work. THANKS!!!!!

You're trying to use a web-site building application that doesn't support Macs? I personally would not deal with any hosting company that won't support anything beyond Windows. Whatever you build with this company will not be accessible to other Macs. But this is your prerogative.
You're correct that Internet Explorer for Mac has been discontinued and it was discontinued at version 5.2x. To run IE for Windows on your Mac you'll need something like Apple's Boot Camp <http://www.apple.com/bootcamp/>, Parallels from <http://www.parallels.com/> or if you're feeling adventurous you can try the CrossOver beta from <http://www.codeweavers.com/>, which will let you run Windows applications without Windows.
Are you opening a Pandora's Box? I don't think so. You do need to take the same precautions you would with a regular Windows machine. That means installing antivirus software and spyware software. Be sure to test your website with both your Mac browsers as well as IE for Windows.
Hope this helps! bill

Preview in browser internet explorer for mac

I use a Mac running Leopard and use Safari as my web browser.
When I try to "preview in browser" in DW, Internet explorer is not
available. Can I run it on mac and where do a get a compatible
version--and preferably without spending a lot of $.

internet explorer for the mac hasn't been supported by MS for
years. Honestly, it's not worth even looking at it.
To view your work in IE for win users, consider getting
something like VMWare Fusion or Parallels or just simply using
BootCamp (which comes with Leopard), to install Windows XP/Vista
onto your Mac.

Browser similar to Internet Explorer for Mac?

I've got on-line training for work that I can do from home, but the site is not fully compatible with Safari. Its good in some windows, but in others its bad enough that I can't actually do the work. The application says it requires Internet Explorer. My question - is there another browser for the Mac that may more closely match Internet Explorer that I could try?

Hi
It depends what "requires Internet Explorer" means. If it relies on Windows-only DirectX features, then you won't be able to get it working from the Mac OS no matter what browser you use. If you have an Intel Mac, you could install Windows via Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion and run IE from there.
If it's more a matter of appearance, and the site relies on IE's (frankly, awful) web standards interpretation, then you might try Firefox or Camino and see if they serve you better.

MAC and Windows Internet Explorer

Is there a way to run internet explorer on a Mac?

capturedbyellen –
First welcome to the Apple Forms.
The short answer is yes – there are basically two methods that you could use:
Option 1: Run Parallels/Bootcamp and install Windows XP on your Mac. Though this will give you the greatest flexibility in running Windows apps, it also generates the most headaches – just look at the number of post concerning this option. Also this has the greatest cost $79 for Parallels (Bootcamp is free from Apple) plus the cost of Windows.
Option 2: Install Crossover from Codeweavers (www.codeweavers.com) this product is based on the WINE project and basically installs a 'Run Time' version of Windows XP. I am currently running IE6 in a ‘bottle’ with no problems as I need to access Outlook Web Access. This solution is also the cheapest ($39 for standard - $69 for Pro).
Either of the solutions should work though my preference is Crossover.
Best of Luck –
BH
