AP site will not fit with an iMac with IE5

I'd appreciate any feedback from Mac users. Thanks.

This is a bit of a lateral thought - could you use Virtual PC on your Mac?
I know lots of Mac users who runs Windows software this way.

I've had VPC setup on my iMac once, but not currently. That could be worth a try. Thanks.

Greetings Pi and Phi http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile_big.gif" border=0>

The Mac is a problem due to the relatively incomplete implementations of its browser technolgy. Netscape is not exactly 100% either - but better.

The Mac browser does not seem to manage attributes such as fonts properly I have been informed by others that have looked into this.

There is nothing that can be done to compensate for the problems with the Mac browser unfortunately. The code that runs this site runs to hundreds of thousands of lines of extremely complex code, and trying to make it work with something like the Mac browser really is impractical.

Just a thought - but what sort of browser is the Mac browser? Isn't Internet Explorer available for the Mac as well?

I would really like to be of more assistance, but as our recent poll survey here highlighted, the majority of users are on IE 6, and a resolution of 1024x768. IE5 down to 800x600 should work fine as well.

With best regards,

Adrian.

Thanks for looking into it, Adrian. I plan on replacing my aging iMac with a PC soon anyway. I've had it with incompatibilities and buying software online.

At work running a PC with Win 98 and IE6 every thing looks fine. I can change the size of the IE browser window and everything will fit and resize it's self. But on my iMac at home the AP site is to big to fit in the window. I have to increase my resolution and stretch the window just to see the whole page. It does not give me any scroll bars to move either.

Help please? Thanks!
