They use java scripts to open drop down menus and pop-up charts for city selection and date selection 
etc. only a few of them work in Explorer for Mac (5.2.3), and co-workers with Macs say they have the 
identical problem.
The company, Rappatoni MLS, refuses to look into this. What can be done short of buying a PC?

Reproducible: Always

Microsoft Jscript Runtime Error:

The site is an MLS real estate site and is only accessable by licensed realtors. How can I get you more 
info to help with this? I have a private password but don't want to lose my California state license in the 
process. I am very frustrated with this flaw and need this site to conduct business.

I am a new realtor, and have just discovered that not much on the MLS site is Mac compatible

HELP!

Resummarizing to get under the new 255 char limit, was:

once inside this real estate professionals MLS site, virtually none of the java based scripts work at all. I have tried all current versions of explorer, safari, firefox. Typical microsoft non-standard implementation of java. Why can't we have a version of Java, in a browser, that supports the Microsoft flavor? None of my colleagues on PC's have any trouble with this site at all. It's password protected so not much checking you can do. I could email the source code from a few of the more troubled pages.

Peter, is this still a problem? It looks like

says they're supporting Firefox and Safari on Mac, at least for some things.
