I'm trying to submit a form online that requires IE6 for
some kind of certificate verification.  Under IE5, I get a
dialog box asking for a password for the certificate, but
doesn't give me the full certificate name.  Without the
certificate name I can't find the certificate and change
it's password, which I think might let me submit without IE 6.

What makes you think there IS or will be an IE6 for the Mac?
MS announced it was dropping development of IE for the Mac
after Apple came out with Safari. MS will only issue
bug fixes (as from 5.1.6 to 5.1.7)

Thanks, Gary.  I didn't really think MS would come out with
IE, it was just a stab in the dark, wondering if they had
or would.  I only just found the Mac portion of MS website
that talks about IE5 as the current version.  So I wonder
if Safari (I use OS 9.2.2, but may shift to OSX) would
work?  I'll try.  Thanks again.

Safari is great for most things, and if you install Safari Enhancer, you
can get a Debug menu that has an Agent command that lets Safari pretent
it's IE for Windows or Mac.

Sadly, you will discover that Sfari will not work for online banking at
some web sites, and that IE is your only option...

Another solution under Mac OS X is OmniWeb.  It has the ability to
masquerade itself as a whole host of different browsers, both Mac and PC
based.  This can be useful on an occasion in fooling a website into
thinking that it is some other browser, whether for testing or skirting
around some proprietary code.

Also effective is Mozilla or FireFox, available at http://www.mozilla.org/

 Good job reading the news.  Guess you missed it where Microsoft
announced no further development for IE except as part of an operating
system (hint, hint...XP).

they are only going to release msie for the newest windows version so when
longhorn comes xp isn't going to get the new version you'll have to buy
windows =)
