I am running latest version of macOS Sierra on a late 2012 Mac Mini.
My problem is that I need to run an (interactive) website that only works in Internet Explorer 11 as part of one of my jobs as an examiner.
I looked at remote access options (I have a Windows 10 Home laptop) with various degrees of success but none ideal. I was hoping the simplest way would be to select Internet Explorer 11 from the User Agent list in the Developer menu in Safari.
The website loads and I can sign in and I can go through various menu options. But the main feature of the site is to mark student responses to exam questions.
I believe the functionality for this part of the site requires Java or JavaScript (This is where my knowledge ends and breaks down, are they different?). It possibly requires Active-X (whatever that is/was?). The website prompts me to install Java but takes me to the Windows version which obviously wont install on a Mac! (I have the latest Mac version of Java installed on my Mini.)
Any ideas if there is a way round this?
Or am I being over optimistic in seeking such a simple solution?
Thanks.
Apple Safari Update For Mac
ps. I can just use my Windows laptop but prefer the big monitor I use with my Mac. I can connect my laptop to my monitor (I did this last year!) but for various reasons that boil down to the physically space available to work in I am seeking a more efficient solution.
