Update Internet Explorer's look for 10.3
Can be done easier by deleting the IE icon and using Safari instead :-)
Except...
Even with the Debug/User Agent menu, I can't get Safari to work with my Credit Union site.
Except...
have you tried your Credit Union site with FireFix, Mozilla, or Camino? I'd be interested to know if that works. Also, please make sure to send your Safari bugs in to Apple, it's very useful.
Printing
I use and like Safari for everything EXCEPT printing. It's abysmal when compared with IE. Internet Explorer gives you move control over fitting on pages, previews, printing graphics, and so forth. Even when exporting to PDF, I prefer to use Internet Explorer.
Printing
ryan, perhaps today's hint about printing in Safari will help:

I hate Safari and his brushed metal look. I hate Safari and his lack of "Print" button in the toolbar. I hate Safary for his way to manage URL import.

You can easily change Safari's look to Aqua.

Yeah, great hint for those of us still happily ensconced in the "I'm still using IE" crowd. (Before anyone asks: IE is slower, more freeze-prone, put out by a company I hate associating with, lets me select options from popup menus in web page forms by typing the first few letters, lets me see more than just my 20 most recent downloads, and saves "web archives" which preserve the exact URLs and all embedded objects in a tree of web pages so you can browse entire websites even when you're not connected to the internet, and until Safari includes features like the last three I will happily put up with the first three in IE. I sometimes use Web Archives 10 times a day and cannot live without it. And the inflexible 20-download limit in Safari's Downloads window makes me cross because it's just plain lazy design. This isn't an invitation to debate, just an explanation of why some of us like this hint!)

Except that there are some sites that require Internet Explorer.

Have you ever tried Firefox for lame websites that require a certain browser? With its default Aqua theme it looks very much like a native OS X browser. Firefox is based on Mozilla/Netscape and a very fast and modern browser. To me it looks better than IE (which is declared dead by M$ anyway).

Which is when you turn on Safari's debug menu and tell it to spoof user-agent strings. ;)

Automatically closes the browser? That's a bad idea. Anything that behaves unexpectedly is bound to generate confusion, and maybe even cost the company lost time/productivity [i.e., money]. They should instead deliver a web page that instructs the user to use whatever browser, and do nothing automatically. Users will learn, after a few forgetful attempts, to use the company's chosen browser, and meanwhile there will be no calls to tech support, no wasted time retrying the site, etc.

...or, you could get the lazy web designers at your company to get off their lazy asses and actually create a page that conforms to OPEN standards and not "Microsoft standards." |
