Obviously the site is using non-standards-conformant javascript code
that will not work with browsers that have a habit of actually giving a
sense to standards by conforming to them. AFAIK this is the case with
both konqueror and firefox because they are both making use of the gecko
engine.

As I stated above this is not a problem with your browser i.e.
konqueror, firefox but with the designer of the aforementioned website
who wrote it so it only works with the proprietary piece of crap aka
internet explorer. Simply changing the UA string will not change the
whole way of how the browser is rendering stuff but will merely bypass
any checks for a specific browser.
| Any ideas/hints/work arounds?

Either point out in a more positive manner than I am doing here to the
webmaster that he should not code websites to only work with a specific
UA, or try to get IE working through wine, vmware, or similar.
