Power tools for IE6??

J

John

When I used IE5 I installed some IE power tools that let me do such
things as open a frame in a new window. I read at Microsoft's web site
that these don't work with IE6.

Does anyone have any info on power tools for IE6? Specifically, I want
to be able to open a frame in a new window.

Hi John - It's called Web Accessories - you can get it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/ie5wa.asp

It works fine in IE6 except that you'll need to do an F5 Refresh on the
blank page that the Images List click brings up to finally get them.
Thorsten Gudera has created both German and English "corrected"
Versions of imglist.htm which fix this. You can contact him here:
Thorsten.GuderaATt-online.de (replace AT with @ sign). For Toggle
Images (which you'll find on your Links toolbar), remember that you'll
have to refresh after toggling to see the effects on the current page.
(BTW, if you place a shortcut to it on your Quick Launch toolbar or
wherever, you can also use it to prevent spam HTML emails from "calling
home".)

Here's also a fix for "Copy Location" courtesy of a poster nicknamed
Caveman I've verified that this works fine for Win2kPro and should for
any other OS as well:

"Use Notepad to open GRABURL.HTM (found usually in WINDOWS\WEB), and
edit as
shown below:

[FIND:]------------------------------------------------
document.all.location.value = win.document.location.href;
[REPLACE WITH:]----------------------------------------
document.all.location.value = win.location.href;
[END]

(so, the only thing to do is removing ".document" from the line)"


Be aware also that there is a bug in the Zoom functions. The following
is a (modified)
quote of a previous posting by Alan Edwards of a previous quote by Ron
Vernon which outlines the fix: Regards, Jim Byrd


"I have not checked recently if the error has been corrected.
Without looking at your attachments, I assume you have made
adjustments like this old post by Ron Vernon MVP, which I made myself.
------quote
This is a bug in the web accessories.

To fix it, use Notepad to open ZOOMIN.HTM (found usually in
WINDOWS\WEB ),
and edit it to read both image dimensions before setting any of them:

old contents:
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....

new contents (the 3rd line in the fragment above moved up):
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....

Do the same for ZOOMOUT.HTM changing '*' to a '/'
..
-----end quote

I've attached corrected versions of zoomout.htm and zoomin.htm since
they're fairly small. (If you have a firewall, they may get re-named
extensions - just change back to .htm) You can just place them in
\Windows\Web if you chose. Regards, Jim Byrd
