Help please. IE for a mac, f keys don't work in FF

[bikecanada]

I'm using OS X 10.8 on my mac book

I need to run IE to view my work website. The site is really old something like ms dos . i need to use the function keys to scroll and update. With Safari nothing loads right and with firefox the site loads, i just cant use the f keys.

Does any one know of a IE that works with leopard, or a different internet explorer that might work, or an add on to safari or firefox that might work. Thanks

i know about pressing fn while useing the f keys and i've also tried switching them in the control panel. This is not the problem.

i don't want to load parallels just for this problem, i don't want windows on my mac.

Believe it or not, there is a solution for people in your situation. It's called IEs4OSX.

10.8 wow, you must have an early beta then. Most of us are on 10.5 or 10.6

thanks for the quick response wrldwzrd89
this is exactly what i'm looking for, but the dl links seem to be dead on the page and lots of comments of people having errors. I'll have a second look at it after i get some sleep.

OP: I can do a standalone Wine port of IE7 if you wish?
