Re: IE 5.2 For Mac OS X
I have to agree with those who have posted favourable comments on IE 5.2. Substituting homepages was a bit of a dirty trick, but I guess there's likely to be a price to pay for free software! On thing I would love to see, and something that surely can't be too difficult to program, is a way to immediately add favourites into a particular favourites folder rather than having to subsequently (and manually) go through and sort collected favourites into the appropriate folders. My memory may be playing tricks, but I'm sure I was able to do this years ago in (IE or netscape?) on another platform... One can drag the URL to the folder of choice in the favourites tab, but that doesn't preserve page title. John Bussell
Re: IE 5.2 For Mac OS X
I want to know when Microsoft are going to put tabs into IE. If you have used Mozilla or Chimera, you will know what I mean! Instead of having 5 different web pages open, there is just one page with tabs at the top. Much neater! Seeya Rod!
Re: IE 5.2 For Mac OS X
Dragging the little target symbol to the left of the url in the address field into the Favourites side-bar tab preserves the page title. I've also found IE 5.2 to be significantly improved - The anti-aliasing looks great to me on most pages I visit and the speed is definitely improved. Particularly apparent is the speed of command-clicking on links to open links in new windows. I do this every day from the http://www.macsurfer.com/ website opening up a dozen or more news articles in separate windows all loading simultaneously. IE used to slow down hugely while doing this - it now works far faster. -Mart At 10:51 AM +0800 19/6/02, John Bussell wrote: On thing I would love to see, and something that surely can't be too difficult to program, is a way to immediately add favourites into a particular favourites folder rather than having to subsequently (and manually) go through and sort collected favourites into the appropriate folders.

Re: IE 5.2 For Mac OS X
I have downloaded and installed it - speed seems to have increased and launch time is significantly improved on my TiBook 550. The text smoothing is very easy on the eye. All in all a nice little update. Cheers Greg on 18/6/02 3:08 AM, Daniel at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all For those interested Microsoft have released Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac OS X.
