Ubuntu Internet Explorer

[mikex]

I use FF, but I need to do some online training. Some of these sites only work with IE. I am using wine. I get an error about setup is unable to download the required componants.....need some helparound this.

Looked for a site wite IE but all I found were sites or links to the setup which would then download the whole app.

I am also trying to do this for school (one class uses an activeX mathXL plugin, and another requires IE for submitting assighnments). Unfortunately the closest I've gotten to a working IE was installing it through Crossover Office. If you have access to a windows system you can try pulling the missing components from it (I doubt this would work but may be worth a try).

Good luck, Mike! I guess that is why I keep one windows box around at home, for situations where you absolutely need windows. I still need to use my one windows box for some of my company work. Thankfully my company is moving towards using web centric software where I'll be able to log-on, use my Linux boxes.

My daughter likes her Windows box...........sigh.

is it an option to use vnc to a windows box? It is not real practical, but it is fun(at least for a few minutes).

there is an extension for firefox called IE tab which switches it from the FF engine to the IE engine.

IE Tab

I know it works in windows but I don't know about Linux.

(Man I need to get a new PSU for my Compaq so I can use FC4 on it. It's only 200w and still runnin a 5700 ultra but I'm scared an extra HDD will consume too much power and cause reboots plus I hate partitioning)

in Crossover IE works but activeX no,

I use Vmware and with vmware player free now, its a good choice. but here is what I did..

I wrote rhe schools about standards, and about why they need to stick with standards or their degree is worthless. and Wc3 is the standard not IE.

I go to Strayeronline, and the only thing IE is needed for is the new secure test systems.. but I explain to all instructors that I have no windows box to run it (it woll not run on a Mac or Linux even with IE), and I have been given wavers to test that way (as a matter of fact I have not had a teacher who onced explaned to as why a windows only method is bad, make any use it..

good luck I know your stuck, and I hope it pisses you off enought that you complain to the school.
