Internet Explorer 4.0 for Mac

I have the unfortunate need to have Internet Explorer 4.0 to access a time reporting website. Is it possible to download and run IE4.0 on Snow Leopard (on a new MacBook Pro). Or are there other browsers which will look like IE 4.0 and allow access to this site?

Thx

G5 1.8GHz dual processor, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 2GB RAM

Things to realize and look for.

IE5 even was the last Mac version and doesn't work;
Most sites that need IE (and where changing User Agent in Safari or Firefox won't work) you can look into Crossover Mac.

If you need actual Windows OS to run IE (and IE8 is current while IE6 is now unsupported) there is VM method like VirtualBox from Oracle.

I can't remember when IE4 but close to 10 yrs ago at least.

You'll have to try. And I think this is a question more for using OS X, or just check out Mozilla (and they have their own forums).

Look like IE4? have you tried?

Basically, no.

are there other browsers which will look like IE 4.0 and allow access to this site?


Safari can be set to identify itself as Internet Explorer 6 or newer from the User Agent section of the Develop menu, but it doesn't contain the IE rendering engine.
