A question to which I have as yet been unable to find an answer. Is there any way of fooling a web site into believing the AOL browser is an IE browser ?

I have a friend who uses AOHell and cannot access her forum functions as the browser is not recognised, being a novice she doesn't really want another browser. So I know you can change the header to fool some sites but it would be beyond her knowledge. So I wondered whether there is a small programme somewhere that could do this on the fly like the FF ie addon

Assumably she has IE anyway. Even for a novice, it's not hard to learn your way round with IE. Maybe just a bit of coaching is all that's needed?

When you are on the internet (via AOL dial up or broadband) just start up IE! You dont need to use the AOL browser. Problem solved.

Essexboy, can I ask you what you mean there? What header?
Thanks.

Strum,
Right Click anywhere on a webpage and select "View Source". That will display the code that is used to design the page (complicated, huh?), Anyhow, the header info is the stuff at the top. It gives the browser information on how to read the page.
Here is a screenshot:
