Making Safari appear to be IE/Windows for MLS site

[Kevin Callahan]

We've been house hunting lately ... I bring the iPhone along with us  
having bookmarked locations using iPhone's Maps app.
Without exception, my wife ends up exploring the house while I end up  
giving an iPhone demo to the realtor who's hosting the open-house.

In every case, the realtor is amazed, wow'd, blown away -- UNTIL they  
ask to see how well the phone works with

http://www.nwmls.com

when you hit the site via iPhone (or Safari for desktop) , you get:

"JavaScript is not enabled"

and if you are lucky, you'll get a subsequent screen saying you need  
to be using Windows  and IE 5.0 or higher

That usually kills the deal for iPhone -- (in fact, it kills the deal  
for realtors buying Macs in general)

otherwise, the realtor's are exclaiming with delight how the iPhone  
would be great for their business

We all know that instead of these realtors buying the iPhone and then  
complaining to those who run the MLS listings, they just won't buy  
the iPhone.

I'm wondering how to change the user agent on Safari, at least on the  
desktop, to say it's IE./Win ..
is that possible ?
