Opening IE specific webpages in Safari

The company that I work for has at least one specific and important website that MUST be opened in IE. Yes, I know.... *sigh* I'm curious if anyone has any potential solutions to this issue OTHER than a VM? I'm looking into Crossover, Play on Mac and WINE. Anybody have experience with each of them and would be willing to provide some feedback?
Thanks
PS Yes I've tried the Develop -> User Agent feature.

Nevermind, I solved the issue on my own. I just wanted to post here in case someone else has the same issue in the future. My solution was something called WineBottler. Its based off the Wine platform, but made it very easy to install IE 8 right away as soon as the apps were installed. Also, FYI for anyone wondering, I installed and tested it on a computer running Yosemite, and it worked just fine for the one particular website that my clients HAD to access. Not sure if it works on all IE specific websites, but it did for me.

Blocking specific webpages on Safari

Dear Forum,
Is their a way to use parental controls to block specific webpages? Rather than configuring a booksmarks list, which works on a principle of inclusion, I'd like to just specifically block (exclude) certain pages. IE: some of the chat pages (Livejournal, MySpace) seem to be a bit too much of a temptation for my family, so we'd like to just block them altogether.
I know workplaces do this kind of things -- but I reckon that involves configuring network IP accessing? Kinda beyond my abilities.
I'd like just to jam those sites. Sounds draconian, maybe, but it's kinda killin' productivity round here.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Thank you so much for that helpful link. I had tried experimenting with plugins, but none of them worked (or perhaps I should say -- I couldn't get them to work.)
This was a very easy and effective solution. Have to thank the author of that little tutorial . . .
Just a note: I had to drag the host file onto my desktop before the system would allow me to alter its contents (even though I am logged in as admin). I was able to then move back, through a password, the file to the /etc/
directory.
Now I think I might try something tricky by looping the myspace address to head over to somewhere educational . . .
Thanks again.

Cannot open Java-based webpage w/Mac Mini's Safari

Newbie here, in the forum and also within the MAC environment.
I own a 1 TB Mac Mini.
I have been trying to open my bank's webpage which is Java based. When opening, it never finish loading the webpage. Instead, it just stays white and shows the secured webpage address but stops loading.
What I have researched at this point is that :
(1) Java in my Mac Mini could be out of date (FIXED: I have the latest installed as of today, version 8, update 31). I closed all, restarted and still not opening this specific webpage. I contacted my bank and they told me to update, which I did.
am I missing SYSTEM CONFIGURATION or something related to SAFARI's CONFIGURATION or SECURITY-RELATED ISSUE?? any help would be appreciated.
Great support community,
Regards
Max

I do not know how to Edit my last question, sorry.
more info on my problem:
(2) by adding few webpage address to the Exception Site List, I noted when logging to my bank's webpage the following messages (please see attached pics). Cleary the Java Configuration need to be changed, IMHO.
"Application Blocked by Deployment Rule" -->Java application Blocked. Application blocked because must meet the requirements for the High or Very Highsecuritt settings, or be part of Exception Site List to be allowed to run.
The application was blocked even dough the host site of the html file at http:// XXXXXXXXXXXXXX is included in the Exception Site list because application refers to multiple domains.
Reason: The JAR file at https: xxxxxxxxxxx is at different domain and is not also included on the exception site list.
Any comment will be appreciated. Still researching. tis

How Do I Launch Safari with Multiple Tabs Open to Specific Pages?

I'd like a Windows shortcut that opens Safari with multiple tabs open to specific pages. With other browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc.), this is easily done by composing a command line that lists all desired URLs. However, Safari doesn't seem to use the same command line syntax as other browsers. Furthermore, I can't find Safari's command line syntax documented anywhere. From the comments I've seen while researching this question, I suspect this is a neglected area of Safari development, and that Safari simply can't be configured to open multiple pages. However, I'd like to make sure. Can it?
-TC

It strikes me that it should be possible to do that (or something similar) by building a safari extension, TC. Both Sessions and SafariRestore are able to launch multiple tabs from a previous session, so it seems like you should be able to create an extension that launches multiple tabs open to specific sites when Safari is launched.

I thought my response was clear, but to reiterate:
1. 10.5.1.42
2. None, nada, zero, zilch. I have no iPhone account with any carrier. There is a deactivated ATT sim card in the3 phone. Someone gave it to me. I only want to use it as an iPod Touch.
3. PC with Windows 7 (I can offer more detailed info, but I am not sure how that would help.

Why does safari close every time I open a specific website

When ever I open a specific website on safari,it closes and i have to reopen it.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Since I made my Safari update yesterday, safari doesn't open my chosen webpage anymore at the start... Frustrating ! What can I do to have my opening page again ?

Go to Preferences-> general and change 3 settings there:
1. "Safari opens with" = "A new window:
2. "New windows open with" = "Homepage"
3. "Homepage" = <your chosen webpage>

Post a link to the page, if possible. Otherwise try opening the page in another browser, such as Firefox.

Why won't Firefox open a specific web site when Safari will

I am unable to open a specific website on Firefox yet I can open it with Safari on the same computer. I have a Mac Air and am using Firefox 26.0 with OSX 10.9.1

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page that doesn't require authentication (signing on)?
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Auto open specific webpage on wireless connection?

Hello,
I want to setup a wireless connection that when a user connects to my wifi hotspot, an specific webpage automatically pops up on the web browser. Is there a general solution to run this or it depends on wireless router?

Suggestion: Add ability to attach a note to a specific webpage

Does anybody else have a use for my idea?
TIME TO MOVE THE STICKIES BACK TO THE DESKTOP.
How about adding the ability to attach a STICKIE to any webpage in Safari, DVD project in iDVD, album in iPhoto or iTunes, folder in Finder, email address or subject in Mail, data devices on the desktop, everything? Just as I use stickies to write temporary notes that are task specific and then stick it ON THE TASK itself. The STICKIE would pop up every time it's corresponding record, page, device was selected as the top window and disappear as soon as the window is deselected. Lastly, create a STICKIE icon on the lower left of every Finder window that would open the STICKIE folder where every STICKIE file resides. In the STICKIE folder all STICKIES would be shown in either name or icon format like any other Finder window.
This feels like a natural extension of the new Spaces feautre coming up in Leopard to me.
Spotlight could have the ability to search for "STICKIE" specific records that contained a user specified word or phrase. For example, a word or phrase that pops into my head and reminds me of that great web page in APPLE TECH SUPPORT that I had forgotten about. With a few clicks I first click the stickie I want in Spotlight and immediately it appears with it's corresponding web page.
Example Problem: Apple Battery Exchange Program website will not accept my iBook's batteries serial # even though it correctly falls in the specified range. After a long call into tech support I was told that due to the overwhelming amount of calls the website is not recongizing all the battery serial numbers. I was informed that I needed to just keep trying until it goes through. If I could in Safari with a right click or cmd key combination immediately make a post-it note and then either type onto the post-it, cut and copy, or using crosshairs highlight a region of the page and copy. I would then have a post-it with just the LIVE fields of 'laptop serial number' and 'battery serial number' of the web
page with **the fields still filled in** as they were when I created the note. I would then click on the 'continue' button on my note and the webpage would advance to the next page and my note would disappear.

HOW DO I OPEN A LOCAL WEBPAGE WITH LINKS TO IPAD2?

I am very new to the iPAd and this forum, so please excuse if this sound like s silly query!
I am a musician and would like to use my iPad2 on stage to display my lyrics sheets and scores (chords).
So what I have done before is to setup a local webpage index with hyperlinks to all the lyrics and scores in htm/l format. Theis was done on my desktop PC and copied across to my stage laptop. When I used my laptop on stage I could open the main index webpage in the browser and just click on any link which would then obviously also open in the browser. To return to the index you just click on the back arrow to load the next required page.
How do I transfer this webpage and subsequent links to the iPad via iTunes, and then open it in Safari?
I appreciate your help.

You could create an offline web application by creating an HTML manifest file, referencing it from your main web page, and then listing all the other resources loaded by the main page. Saving this page to the home screen via the "Action" button in Safari would then cache all of the resources and let you access it offline (e.g., in Airplane mode).
The challenge of creating offline web apps is that the main web page may only be loaded once, and the other web "pages" need to be loaded by XMLHttpRequest (XHR), or you could put all content in a single HTML page, and hide/show the content by modifying CSS properties. The main web page may not be replaced by another web page (e.g., when tapping on a link), otherwise the web app will open the new page in Safari.
Note that to initially set up this web app, you'll have to serve it from a local web server on your Mac or PC. On OS X, you may use Web Sharing from the System Preferences > Sharing pref pane. You can put the files in the "Sites" directory in the home directory on your Mac, and you can access the web pages from your iPad if your Mac and iPad are on the same local network.
More information here, although there are probably tutorials if you search Google for them:
https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/Safa riJSDatabaseGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/offline.html
I know there is a lot of technical information here, but I hope that helps. It is possible to do what you want to do, although it's not simple.
