Internet Explorer emulator?
in [Suse]
|
From: Riberto on 5 May 2008 05:00 I have been a Suse Linux user for several years now. Currently use OpenSuse 10.3 looking forward to 11.0 For work I HAVE to use that other stuff cause my Company uses some programs written for that stuff and we ARE required to use it WITH OUT messing with it! Heck its their money so what can I say!!! Recently their glorious IT department made some changes in their website and I am told we must use Internet Explorer to access these new features. They are right, I have tried and failed to have full use with Firefox, Galeon, Konqueror and Opera. Is there a program or a way to adjust any of these popular web browsers to emulate Internet Explorer? There are times I need to access these sites for WORK and hate to switch over to the WRONG side of my laptop's partition. Your input will be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

I've made instructions to put it in openSUSE: http://waxborg.servepics.com/english/linux/vmware.en.html There's also VirtualBox, included in openSUSE which does the same thing. I've been happy with VMware, so I've got no experience with the latter. I'd reckon just for the browser, use Wine :) Vahis -- Training new things here: http://waxborg.servepics.com "The only thing more expensive than training is the lack of it" Henry Ford

It could be that they just see what the broeser is. That should be easy to go around. It could also be that they do some test on the first page and the next page doesn't, so you need to go to the second page. It could also be that it calls some things and needs to do some things that is only available in IE. > Is there a program or a way to adjust any of these popular web browsers > to emulate Internet Explorer? Again, it depends on what check they use and why wether it will be succesfull or not. > There are times I need to access these sites for WORK and hate to switch > over to the WRONG side of my laptop's partition. > > Your input will be greatly appreciated!
