Safari User Agent and unsupported websites...
Authored by: daybrother on Mar 25, '04 02:12:42PM

I can only access a question bank site I need with IE 5.2.1. Trying Safari 1.2.1 (v125.1) and setting user agent to Mac or Windows IE does not work at all for some reason. I find this very odd. Since the site's tech support refuses to answer my emails I guess I have to hope for yet another version of Safari. In the meantime I hit it once a day with Safari anyway and keep IE in the dock. It is nice to know I'm not alone.

Safari User Agent and unsupported websites...

Sometimes their "detection" mechanisms don't use User Agent strings, but instead tries something and watches the behavior of the browser... LIke using Document settings or setting a property that only one browser supports or something like that....

In this case the only hope is to get a web designer at the site to "fix" it... Good luck....

yeah, but even then it will still show up that you tried to use Safari in their logs I believe.
