Have just tried to load an item using Explorer 5.2

I have found Safari to be lacking in many ways, so ignore
same, as a web browser.
and because some groups I read will ONLY use
Internet Explorer and because of that I retain same.
Everything else goes to Mozilla.
My question then, is there an IE application for MAC OSX that supports
ActiveX, what ever the term is meant to represent?
From http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q258540 :
3.4 Viewing Web Pages That Contain ActiveX Controls
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Some Web pages may contain ActiveX controls that have been designed
specifically for Windows-based computers and are therefore not
supported by the Macintosh. If you are unable to view a Web page that
contains such a control, try turning off ActiveX content in Internet
Explorer to view the page.
To turn off ActiveX content:
1. On the Edit menu, click Preferences.
2. Under Web Browser, click Web Content.
3. In the Active Content area, clear the Enable ActiveX check box.
4. Click OK.
5. To display the page with ActiveX content turned off, click Refresh.

ActiveX was developed as a competitor to Java, but these days Windows
users are frequently advised to switch it off for security reasons.
