Does anyone know how IE-7 will handle OE stationery? I use and know of a LOT of people who create and use OE stationery that uses DHTML, ActiveX, VBScript and JavaScripting in their creation. I’ve heard there are problems with some of these and IE7

Thanks.

It’s not possible to have two IE browsers on XP. You can use any one version of IE on XP. If you are interested in IE browser then I would recommend you to go for IE7.

Not true. Currently the best way of running IE7 Beta 3 that I’ve found is Tredosoft’s free patch app.

Hey y’all. Is it possible to have two IE browers on XP, one is IE6 and the other is IE7? If so, how?

they have clearly copied Firefox functionality and design into IE7

So when they do something different they’re the enemies of standards, but when they do something the same then they’re clearly copying. Ok, I get it now.

…(even CTRL+T (for new Tab) is the same in IE7 as it always was in Firefox). Nevertheless it sure looks promising!

That’s just called good decision making. If you don’t have your own pre-existing standard for something, it’s silly not to go with one that is already well-established out there.

Frankly, I’d be putting a rocket up them if they chose anything else.

Hmm.. I have to say I’m quite contented with IE7 (even though I only looked it at briefly). I had a big laugh though (yes, at Microsoft) as they have clearly copied Firefox functionality and design into IE7 (even CTRL+T (for new Tab) is the same in IE7 as it always was in Firefox). Nevertheless it sure looks promising!

microsoft action pack - isn’t that $300 _annually_??? This makes it a less good deal than I originally thought - or have I got my wires crossed?

well you have to think, that is only going to be for WinXP SP2 users thought. There will still be Win2k, 98 and others out there who will be stuck on using IE6 until they upgrade their OS which probably is not likely given that they haven’t done it yet.

Now if we could only get IE5 and IE6 users to use IE7.

It’s already been taken care off http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07/26/678149.aspx
