    There's a website that I frequently visit but it's only Internet Explorer. When I use Safari or Firefox, the menu's won't open.

    Is there a way to make it work with a Mac? I don't want to open my old Asus laptop just so I can visit that site.

    i can see that you have an intel Mac. you can install Parallels (if you haven't yet) and run Windows, with IE on it. that way, you have the best of both worlds, without the need to open your PC.

    HTH. :)

    If you're using Safari 3.1 (or 3.1.1) go to Safari Preferences -> Advanced and click on Show Develop menu in menu bar. When you want to visit an IE dedicated site, click on Develop on the menu bar, choose User Agent then Internet Explorer before going to that site. Hope this help.

    Thanks for the tips... I'll try them and see which works. I have a site hosted with domains.ph and their web management page won't work properly with Safari or Firefox.
