SteveC said:Hi everybody,
Would you please share with me how I can make Safari spoof to pretend it's IE? I'm trying to get into a site that requires IE and really need your help if you can please help me.
Thanks a LOT!

adds a debug menu to safari so you can change the user agent.
tomf87 said:You can use the Debug menu to say it is IE 5.2 on Mac or IE6 on Windows.
SteveC said:Awesome - that's PERFECT.
I downloaded the script but how do I run it?
tomf87 said:You should have StuffIt Expander by default. Double-click the .sit file. It will create a new folder, "Safari Debugger". Open that folder and double-click the script iinside. Now launch Safari.
I haven't had much success getting Safari to act right on IE only sites, but good luck.
SteveC said:When I run the script, it says,
"sh: line 1: defaults: command not found"
tomf87 said:What version of OS X are you running?
Mine worked OK:
mac:~ user$ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
mac:~ user$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
mac:~ user$
Can you try the same commands and paste the output?
SteveC said:I tried it... mac:~ user$ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Same error.
Do I need to replace anything in there with my personal info.??
I'm running Panther with Safari 1.1
tomf87 said:Yes that is normal. That shows the last time you logged into Terminal and on what interface, normally ttyp1.
I do not know why that command is not working, as it works fine on my 10.3.3 install. What patch level of Panther is it?
SteveC said:7B85 I think? Is that what you mean?
i am pretty sure 7B85 was the Gm which means it is 10.3.0SteveC said:7B85 I think? Is that what you mean?
tomf87 said:My thinking is that the /usr/bin/defaults program comes with the Developer package. I bet you don't have it installed, do you? If not, I would go with TinkerTool to make life easier for you.
