Yup. It's a handy trick that I use on junky sites that sniff the
browser type. I've been blocked or had bad behavior on some sites
and had the issues go away by essentially lying about being in IE6.
Kind of annoying that they are messing things up for Safari on
purpose. In general it's bad practice to be sniffing browsers.
Instead they should be sniffing capabilities which is a more future-
proof solution.

hey all;
so i discovered this and it has helped me. I wanted to use a
service on
http://www.onebox.com
but they would not let me log in because i was using safari, so i
looked and looked and found out that if you go into your
preferences to advance and check the box that says show develop
menu then you have lots of options. This will give you a new menu
bar under vo}m, and it will be called develop. This gives you
options such as appearing that your using internet explorer, to
appearing that your using a version of safari that is used on the
iphone. This does not change the functions of safari and still
looks the same. Also, something that might hlep your surfing is
under the develop menu you can disable java scripts, and finally
disable images. It is good for people like me who are currently on
starband internet and must watch my bandwith usage.
well anyways have fun there are lots more options in this menu as
well.
thanks
Mike
