Hi

I need to access a website that was design for IE and I'm trying to make it run under OS-X. Is a medical page and the first thing that happens is they make me download a .cab file that has 4 files inside. One .inf and other three .ocx

Without that .cab file the content of the website doesn't appear. Now, under OS-X I installed the IE and I'm trying somehow to make it see these .ocx files as pluggins. I tried to change the format (to move them from .ocx to .cfm and also from .ocx to .plugin) and add them to the content of the IE under OS-X, but is not working.

I'm pretty sure it should be a way to make the IE under OS-X to read those files but I don't really know how to do it. Can you recommend me something regarding this aspect?

thanks a lot

You can't, it will not work. Period.

These OCX binaries are compiled for Microsoft Windows and are not compatible with any version of Internet Explorer on any version of Mac OS X. You will need to use a virtual machine or physical PC with Windows and Windows Internet Explorer to use the controls required for this website.

Renaming the file does not change the fact that the binary content is executable only on Windows.
