[SLL] Arrgh, Lake Washington School District requires IE to access web site...

[Ski Kacoroski]

Hi,

Thanks to an idea from Ralph Sims, I was able to get in.  I downloaded
Opera and set it to fake being IE.  This worked so at least I can see
my kids records.  Is there anyway to make Firefox fake being IE?

cheers,

ski
