Anyway, I remember seeing somewhere that Mozilla could "spoof" these sites into thinking they were dealing with (Ugh ! ) the MS browser.

Yes, but you need the User Agent Switcher extension - you can get it from Mozilla's site.

If not, can Konqueror do it? or Opera?

Yes it can.

Opera has had this ability natively for a long time. It still does not excuse the idiots in government who insist on creating webpages that are hobbled to run on MS IE :-((( -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.

Or Financial Institutions that redo their web pages and tell you that you have to use IE. Mike -- peeved that Manulife Financial in Canada just did that.

My old bank did that recently and wouldn't update their policy. I ran it all the way up the flagpole to the Senior Product Manager and VP level. The PM said they were so political with a Microsoft IT. So, I told them what I thought and switched to a better bank that accepts MS, Linux, Mac and all popular browsers, a very progressive forward thinking bank and IT dept. which is growing fast in this area and sees a highly versatile IT dept. as one of their best assets for Customer satisfaction and their long-term success...
