Finding the Current Tab when performing tabbed browsing.

With slight changes to the graphical user interface of Microsoft products, I am finding it harder to navigate efficiently.  Specifically, in IE11 (Win 7) I am finding it takes slightly more effort to find the current tab.

In cases where I have many tabs open (six or more) I find I have to scan across all the tabs for find the tab of the current website I am looking at. This can get annoying and tedious if I am opening and closing many websites.

I feel previous versions of IE highlighted the tabbed in a more visually striking way (I think the current tab was even slightly taller than the other tabs). Now the cues indicating the current tab are more difficult to notice, especially with multiple colours for different tab groups.  I find the little [X] on the current tab hard to find as it easily blends in with the webpage title text on each tab.  As well, as I mouse over an [X] appears on the each tab, and that can be deceiving.

The point is, if I want to close a tab amongst several open tabs, I have to scan across to EACH tab until I find the one with the [X].  I think the current tab should be more visually singled out.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can more easily find the current tab?

After reading a large number of posts, it seems that when configuring the GP settings for IE 10 or 11 is done by downloading a template. So far I am following this. Now comes the part I am not getting. When I read the installation instructions for the template installation, it says it is included when I install IE 11 on the server. So far, I have been unable to see a GP setting for anything higher then IE 8 when I attempt to configure it. Where are the settings for IE 10 and up? They do not seem to appear after installation of IE 11 so I assume that in fact that template is not actually included when IE 11 is installed. So it seems circular to me. The solution is to install the template for which instructions say it is only for Server 2003 and not Server 2008. Certainly could use some help here.

Thank  you

We are creating a new Windows 7 image and part of the install process is it install IE 9.     I install the following .EXE    IE9-Windows7-x86-enu.exe

Once the OSD process is complete and you log into the new Windows 7 machine for the first time sometimes, not always, but sometimes you see this window.

This is a show stopper and we have to prevent this from popping up.   How do I prevent this from happening?

Hi

So, I'm bust finally making the switch to Win 8.1 from XP Home across my household, all fine apart from the fact that I don't seem to be able to organise non html based favourites on IE's favourites bar.

Example:

I always have my Hotmail email address passcard from RoboForm as my first icon on my favourites bar but since moving to IE11 its been placed right at the end of all my favourites, after all the HTML favourites.  I move it but it goes back to the end following a restart of IE.

I never had this problem before, Ive used RoboForm with IE6, 7 and 8 with no problems.

Please help :-)

When we try to use internal websites (sites like hostname.some.subdomain.com:NNNN/some/path/ ) internet explorer 11 shows autocomplete entries for previous visits to those websites, but, when selected, it then searches bing for those URLs, and that makes very little sense to do.

it's an address bar. it's where addresses are typed in. I don't want internal website addresses (frankly, any website addresses) to turn into a bing search. I don't search from the address bar. Ever. In previous versions I could disable that, and in this version that option seems to have been replaced with "go directly if a single word is typed in [intranet site like "home" or "intranet" or "sharepoint", etc.] ", but that doesn't disable the search feature enough to avoid still continuing to search when internal websites are entered/selected in the address bar.

Is there some other place to disable the search, so that addresses typed into the address bar work?

I have three related (I think) questions.

1. I love IE 11, but I think I did something to it when I updated to Windows 8.1.  Once I updated, I noticed that I could not find the internet explorer app in my app list. When I search, I get the desktop version, but not the Metro-touch version. I know I didn't delete it, though, because my mail program will open links in the metro app. How do I fix this?

2. Luckily I had pinned grooveshark.com to my start screen, so I can access IE11 that way, but every time I want to open up IE11 metro- I have to open up this grooveshark link. This would be OK if it wasn't for the fact that my pin button also doesn't work. So I cannot pin other sites or get it to open to my home site.

3. Problem one and two are exasperated by the fact that whenever I browse on IE 11 metro, and tab out of it to another program, IE closes and does not appear in my bar on the left where all other Metro apps stay open. Is there a way to keep IE open in the background while I use other apps? I know that I can split screen to do this, but that is not functional on my 10.6in. surface pro screen.

When I check for IE updates it says I am up to date. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall? If so, what is the best way to do that?

Thanks!

-Joel

I am trying to take screenshots of a website that we have translated into Spanish.  All the content displays in the correct language, but I cannot figure out how to make the "File Upload" button show as it would for someone using a Spanish version of Windows.

I have:

• Upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate.
• Set my language under Regional/Language to Spanish.
• Changed the Language in IE's Internet Options - Language Preference to Spanish.
• Downgraded to IE 10, and re-installed IE 11 from a Spanish language link: http://windows.microsoft.com/es-MX/internet-explorer/download-ie .
• Reset IE settings, including deleting personal settings.

After all of these attempts:

• Windows start menu and other OS elements appear to be in Spanish.
• Other applications seem to have detected my language and react appropriately (eg, GIMP).
• BUT, Internet Explorer itself remains entirely in English, apart from setting my homepage to the Spanish version of MSN.

Please help!  I just want to see Internet Explorer the way somebody would that is using it in Mexico, and I was expecting that the upgrade to Ultimate and setting my language to Spanish would have done that.  Thanks.

I have an application that is written in extJS  using Sencha 4.2 framework. In this application I have two divs that are embedding three flash applications. Two of these applications are compiled with Flashbuilder 4.1A. One is used as a control to our back-end and never seen but uses ExternalInterface calls to communicate with the Javascript layer. The Flashplayer I am using is 14.0.0.125.

The one flash layer that is a control appears to be loading correctly and is able to talk to the javascript layer. But it appears the other flash layers are not loading. Are there any known issues as to why this might be a problem. It was working fine on IE 10.

When pasting certain text into a TEXTAREA under IE 10.0.9200.16921 in compatibility mode, IE10 changes the data - sometimes (mysteriously and randomly about half the time).

The following test web page demonstrates how to reproduce this problem:

<html>
<head><title>Test IE10 paste bug 20140616</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Test IE10 paste bug 20140616</h1>
<h2>How to reproduce the bug:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Turn on compatibility mode.</li>
<li>Select the full contents of the textbox below (two lines).</li>
<li>Copy the contents of the textbox below into the Windows clipboard.</li>
<li>Delete the contents of the textbox.</li>
<li>Paste the clipboard contents back into the textbox.</li>
<li>The lowercase "i" at the end will mysteriously (and randomly) be
	capitalized to "I" (about half the time).</li>
</ol>
<p><textarea>/*#!!#*/
i;</textarea></p>
</body>
</html>

What is happening here?

Does this happen with other versions of IE? (I only have access to IE5.5, IE6, IE9 and IE10 - only IE10 exhibits this problem so far.)

I'm developing a simple javascript web application that needs to run accurately in all versions of all browsers - IE10 appears to have a pretty severe bug here.

Update 2014-06-16 12pm MDT: Another user has reported this behavior running Win7, IE v 11.0.9600 as well. Have updated the title to include IE11 as being affected.

Hello everyone,

One of our customers is working on a Windows Server 2012R2 (Remote Desktop) with Internet Explorer 11. Fully updated.
Links on their website can have strange characters (ë, ü, û) in them*. They exist in variables send with the URL, so not in the domain name itself.
When using such a link, the webpage cannot be displayed. 

I cannot give an example of the website itself, its on a protected area, but it is reproducable by manipulating a link. Fot example:

http://www.bing.com/?test=test

http://www.bing.com/?test=tëst

The real problem is, this only happen on the this particular server. On other systems, with the same IE version, the pages are loaded and displayed.

Another browser on the same Server does display the pages.

Tried several settings, but nothing seems to fix this. 

* For whatever reason they do not use url encoding on the webserver end, please do not give this as solution. Because it does work on other systems, there must be something to make it working.

We're currently testing IE 11 with Enterprise Mode at my company to see how it handles a lot of our legacy applications and so far it seems to be working alright about 90% of the time. There are a few sites, however, that require the compatibility view rather than enterprise mode. The problem is that these sites are listed at "intranet.com", which is where a lot of other applications redirect to that will break in compatibility view. And of course, wildcard settings won't work with this.

What I'm wondering is whether compatibility view or enterprise mode settings take precedence under group policy settings? If we list "intranet.com" under our compatibility view site list to accommodate those few sites and then create enterprise mode settings for the other applications sitting on intranet.com that break with compatibility view, what can we expect to see?

How to disable auto clear button in Text box in IE10

Hi Team,

I saw this question on Microsoft forum but I did not find any reply to this question, therefore, I am re-posting it.

When I run web interface application on IE10, i see there is a new feature which has 'X' at the end of text box and on clicking it it clears the text.

Are there any settings of IE10 that can be changed to disable it or some code snippet?

I find the 'X' sign at the end of text box very annoying and would like to turn it off and make it compatible with older versions of IE and other explorers.

Looking forward to your answer at the earliest.

Regards
Sakshi

Our client systems using Internet Explorer 10 and 11 need to have their Internet Explorer browser set to the Default Browser by Group Policy. There is the eHow article, www ehow.com/how_6356764_make-ie-default-browser-gpo.html [please note that I had to take out the . on the www to keep the link from being blocked in this post ] , but this only applies up to Internet Explorer 9.  Internet Explorer 10 and 11 deprecated the IEM utility ( and still asking why, why, why ). So, the eHow article is no longer the solution.

Anybody know of a another way?  Even if it is a registry modification - push via Group Policy solution ( like the Enable All Cookies capability is now )....... ?
