Ribble Cycles/Mac browsers!

only ie5 is available for mac, as m*cros*ft stopped supporting ie for mac ages ago.

I know, it's pointless. Every other site works with either Safari or Firefox, why is Ribble any different?!

On another note, I managed to access the 'specials' page on one of 2 pc's we have in the office. I think I'm going to go for a 'bikebuilder' option!

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure IE5 is no longer available for Mac, and that MS were recommending Mac users to use Safari as IE5:Mac is old and insecure and doesn't support any modern web standards - most sites look like a garbled mess in it!

(Interesting trivia point: it wasn't always like this. IE5:Mac was the first browser to have full CSS1 support as I recall, and could even handle PNG transparency! See, MS can do it when they try.)

that's what i meant really; ie5 was the last mac version ms did, not currently supported.

Sorry, yes of course. Misunderstood your post.

I used IE TAB add on, for Firefox for Ribble.. seems to speed up the site.. not everything works completely but one gets a bit further and a bit quicker than just firefox.
