Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / July 2003

I'm new to web creation for Mac clients.  As you can see in some threads in
this NG, I have some other problems to develop a web application for Mac
clients. But I want to solve one very basic issue here, how can I detect
OS/Browser versions on Mac client?  What I've learned in ...

Since I'm using Explorer 5.2 on my Power Book G4, I get sometimes
error messages from Java.  I haved enabled Java, but for some web
pages I keep getting messages as the one below, and some images do not
show.  What can I do?

Since I upgraded to IE 5.2.3, IE keeps quitting and quitting and
quitting at startup. Since I quit on Entourage for the same reasons (
and switched to Mail) and, before I do the same with IE ( for Safari
or Netscape), can anybody help?

When surfing the web my Internet Explorer window changes sizes all by
itself. When I reset the window to the desired size IE doesn't seem to
remember that setting.
It doesn't matter whether the dock is at the bottom or at the sides,

Running IE 5.2.2 and OS 10.2.6,
I've got a very annoying problem.
I can't set my startup page to a blank page neither in the IE prefs nor in
the System prefs 'Internet > Web'.

I'm a PC guy and have a web site up for a property I'm trying to lease. A
Mac friend says it won't open properly on his IE installation. Could one of
you HTML Mac experts try to load it on IE and Safari and tell me if it works
properly for you?

Is the process for deleting cookies and cache for Mac IE the same as
PC?  How would I go about doing it?

How can I set IE so that my dail-up connect is terminated when I close
IE (or Outlook Express)? Also is there a way I can disconnect with IE
open (besides going through the Mac 'Remote Access' control panel)?
Thanks,

I want to print out the actual URL addresses of my Favorites. I am
able to print out the Favorites list with the names of the websites,
but not the addresses. Can anyone help? Thanks. Wanda

I am using Mac OS X.2 on a Dual Processor G4.
Every time I launch Internet Explorer, it says "Internet Explorer has
unnexpectidly quit.  The system and other applications were not
affected."

I can't find "send page to" on the File menu. Where is the trick? On
my PC, I could easily send pages through Explorer, now, with mi Apple
G4, I can't.  Anyone knows how to do it? I don't just want to send a
"copy-and-paste" link.  I want to send the full page, text and images,

In IE 5.1 for OS 9 when I try to view an image like a jpg file, the image is
downloaded rather than displayed in the browser window.
For instance, if the page says click on the image for a larger view, the
image downloads and doesn't appear in the browser.

Using IE 5.2 w. Mac OSX Jaguar for 3 months. Suddenly, from one launch
to next, all favorites bookmarked have vanished. CAN'T FIND THEM
ANYWHERE.
Tried Sherlock. No results. Ideas?

Internet Explorer 5.1.7 for Mac OS 8-9 has just been released at Mactopia.

Details are scarce on this new update - please report if you find any other
differences.

Was wondering what file://localhost is, and why when I click on it in
my FAVORITIES menu ( it appeared after I downloaded ver. 5.2.3) it
shows all the folders on my computer's hard drive.  Can someone hack
or log into my computer and download/see my files ( I use airport)
