Congratulations to the Internet Explorer 8 Developer Team
In the early beta phase of Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 I posted some improvement thoughts to the official developer newsgroup and never got any response or feedback.
One thing I find pretty important is the option to close only the current tab if you click on the global close ‘X’ in the top most right corner if you have more than one tab open. In IE7 it would only ask you if you really want to close all tabs. If you accidentally clicked on the global close icon but only wanted to close the current tab you had to say ‘No’ and then close the actual tab.
But hey, guess what it looks like in IE8 beta (Konqueror style, woohooo) :
Update:
Wow, we’re really getting somewhere here. Playing around with IE8 beta a little more I discovered that the search box in the upper right corner has a sort auf auto correct mechanism. For example you type ‘target audiecne‘ instead of ‘target audience‘ in the box with Google as your search provider and then Google offers you to correct your search with a link above all the results of your original search query.
If you would like to use the corrected search query in the search box you had to copy’n'paste in the pre IE8 era but now IE8 is doing it for you. I already love this browser.
About
Originally this site was intended as a project site. The goal was to define standards for the perimeterless network using
open-source software. To be honest I simply do not have the time for such a thing. So what is left is a blog with sporadic
posts that are either helpful for myself or I think are helpful for others, too since I had a hard time finding information
on the Internet. Think of it as a knowledge base.
Ehm yes, somtimes I write down my two cents on any topic that may go through my mind at that point in time ;-)
