How to make safari emulate (not really) as IE!

David alison has written an excellent tip, where he tells that how you can make safari pretend that it’s IE. It certainly is not the emulation, however it may work for those sites where you get a message that this website requires IE only.

Why exactly that will happen ?

If a web site developer has limited resources they may only ensure that their site works with the most popular browser on the web, which is Internet Explorer. If it is an older site that has not been updated in a long time they may have assumed that only IE can render the site properly and, not wanting to have to deal with other browsers, simply prevented them from coming in.

Please note that don’t use this tip for any important, as there are many secure websites (read : bank portals) which still want you to access their portals through Internet explorer and I’ll suggest that don’t even think of trying this technique and that you should refrain from using it on such important and critical websites.

I don’t have IE – Microsoft doesn’t provide one for Mac

I understand that and I find it frustrating too, however Adam Pash has written an excellent tip where he tells you that how you can run Windows and Mac applications side by side as if they were native Apple applications (ah! just with windows looks and UI).

Apart from that you can also use free software called innotek VirtualBox and run Windows XP in a virtualized machine.
