You can get your browser to pretent to be MSIE...

Debug menu activated via the Terminal, or Add-ons like PithHelmet will let
you activate this.
Then select User Agent at the bottom of the Debug menu, (take a pick).

This won't help if the site needs to use Active-X (PC only, real or
virtual).

Hi Paul,

I'm afraid its hard to tell you what is goign wrong when I can't see what
functions aren't working.

If its typically buttons, or form elements it may be that you don't have
javascript installed. I personally know of someone who bought a mac and
javascript was disabled (which i thought was strange).

To check if javascript is enabled simply follow these steps:
1. Open Safari
2. Click Safari in the top left corner.
3. Click Preferences.
4. On the new window thats opened click on the security "tab" which is
represented by a large padlock.
5. Check that "enable javascript" is ticked.

regards

James
