An important vendor tinkered with their website and now I can't use Firefox or Safari (4) to use it properly. The official statement is "The only browser we support is Internet Explorer 6 or higher".

Any suggestions? Our office Mac is not Intel and can't run Parallels.
 
Should be easy to access.

Turn on developer menu item in safari pref

Then goto Develop / User Agent, IE...

And it should load fine. I have to do this with my darn bank :(
 
!!!!! Thanks !!!!! Emulating I.E. 8 allowed me to work around the problem.

Yea, it's a shame these stupid web developers think only IE will work on their site, mostly because they're too lazy to check (I'm a web developer myself). So you know, there are Firefox extensions that allow you to change the user-agent shown to the site as well if you prefer Firefox. Opera can do this as well.
