Internet Explorer on the Mac is dead. Support officially ceases some time in 2005 (only a few more days left to get your bug reports and feature requests in!), and in a little more than a month it will no longer even be available for download.
The _javascript_ interpreter in IE for the Mac doesn’t even support array.push and many other standard methods. It wasn’t ever really a viable _javascript_ development platform, unless you want to bend over backwards to write all your _javascript_ code to avoid the most common standard functions, and work around its many other bugs. (Note: dynamically adding a push method to array is not a viable work around because it breaks iteration over dictionary keys, returning “push” as a key of every dictionary, so you have to write “array[array.size] = val instead of array.push(val), and call global functions to simulate the other missing methods like pop, shift and unshift.) MacIE doesn’t have a serious _javascript_ interpreter -- it’s just a cruel joke.
There’s no reason for anyone to be using IEMac, when Firefox is widely available for free.
Any educational institution still insisting on using MacIE must be so backwards that they also teach intelligent design!
Here it is from the horse’s mouth:
