Default RWK for mac?

I was able to create an account on my PC at work and play for a bit but I currently have only macs at my house. I was wondering why everytime I try to log in it won't let me select anything.

All the macs are new i3 + processors and I downloaded firefox hoping that it was just safari browser but no luck still.

You need internet explorer to play RWK. You can use other browsers like Firefox and Chrome on the PC because they have an IEtab plugin that launches IE within the other browser. Try using ies4osx and see if that fixes the problem. I don't own any apples so I can't speak from personal experience.

Actually the safari internet browser will allow me to log in but the firefox/internet explorer browsers won't even let me log in so I am wondering if anyone has a plug-in for safari. Thanks for the help though jimcav.

You can log in with any browser, it's the playing part that's a problem. I think the issue is scripts that operate the game are written in Java and for some reason only work with internet explorer. Unless you have some version of IE or a way to emulate IE on your Mac I don't think RWK will work. Some time ago I was looking for ways to run the game under linux and found a version of IE that I could run, but the game wasn't functional using that route. All I could do was log in, the controls were all screwy after that. I ended up creating a virtual machine, installing windows on that, and using it to play RWK with IE6. Something like winebottler might work for you but ultimately you need to have a way to run IE to get the game to operate. If I were you I'd give ies4osx a try, and maybe start looking at OS X virtualization apps as another option.
