Links are shown as text in browser
I am using Mandriva 2006, I am using wwww.datamaxcorp.com for my office. There at ECenter Tab, after login, the links appears in text only. I was previously using Windows and Internet Explorer, where there was no such problem. To resolve it, I installed different Web Browsers on my system, which includes Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, Fire-fox, and update my current Mozilla Firefx as well, but the problem remains at the same place. Is Internet Explorer can be installed on my Mandriva Machine, OR What the Alternate Solution...?
Reply me as soon as possible........

From the linked site:

Who is the target public?
. . .
People who have to open IE-only sites

Did you try it?
Did it work?
(Enquiring minds want to know.  )
Seriously, It might be a solution for my girlfriend to access MLS (Multiple Listing Service), one of the major barriers to converting her to GNU/Linux.

Oh No!
The machine is very very slow.
The staff can bother to sit on other PC with fast access, instead of having hang like access of IE on their own machines. Is there any other solution, in which I have not to install IE or most specifically the Cross-Over i.e. WINE. Is there any utility for Linux builtin explorers whic can open IEs specific websites. I need it only for browsing. Not for web designing or any other purpose. Please HELP ME!!!!

I don't exactly understand your problem, but for what it is worth ... did you try KDEs Konqueror? What does it show?

Can you give some examples of pages where links don't work please?
Also there is a firefox extension called linkification that converts text addresses to links.
