Attached Link: Internet Explorer 5 for Mac Discontinued

As stated above, IE for Mac is no longer supported. Not only is it no longer supported, it has long been accepted by the Mac community that IE for Mac sucks. Seriously. It doesn't support anything. Most Javascript applications don't work in IE ... period.

Opera is only used by a very small (I think it's less than 2%?) percentage of Internet users and, although we would like to be able to support Opera fully, we have to find the solution that satisfies the needs of the largest group of people to the fullest degree.

Safari is a different issue altogether. In the light of recent jumps in browser technology, many users in the Mac community have taken the opinion that Safari should be redeveloped or restored to Beta testing. It supports less Javascript / Active Controls than even IE for Mac. Apple simply has not done a good job keeping up with browser technology. The only thing Safari has that surpasses any other browsers is its superior RSS Browsing.

Don't get me wrong I love my Mac. It's all I use except when I'm testing compatibility. I tested the editing application on IE, FF and Netscape for Windows and FF and Netscape for Mac without any problems whatsoever. Many of the errors I am hearing about seem to be happening on two (or more) different computers who have the identical setup. I would suggest that it could likely be a result of Javascript or Security settings.

As long as a browser has full HTML / Javascript standards-compliant capabilities (Netscape, IE, FF, Mozilla) and the user has not deactivated anything important, there should be no problem. Unfortunately, this is not my baby to debug. It is a third-party application licensable that has been used rigorously on sites totally over a million users and modifications are not allowed.

Hope this helped and sorry if it didn't.
