Hi,
Previously I used to get Open in a new tab option when I right clicked on any link in my IE8. But now, it doesn't appear. I didn't find any of such option in the tools menu. Can anyone help? Optionally, I have the ctrl + click option though, but I would still want to know how it disappeared and how I can get it back.
Thanks in advance.
samant,
I didn't got what the problem you have.......i just understand that you are unable to open a link in new tab. Am i right? still now i don't have the solution for this but a trick to open a new link.....u can try a a wheel of mouse to open a new link....just take a mouse cursor to the link and make a click by the wheel of mouse.....the link automatically open into a new tab.
thank you.

Thanks for your kind concern.
It's not that I couldn't open a new tab. Actually when I right clicked on a link, it only showed 'open', 'open in a new window' and 'duplicate tab' option, but not 'open in a new tab' option. I didn't have any idea what the actual problem was. So, I went to tools > internet options > tabs settings > restore default. And now it's working fine. I think some setting out there was wrong that I didn't know about. Now it's working perfectly fine.
I only knew ctrl + click trick but not the clicking the wheel of mouse trick. Thanks for that. I only used it to close tabs before.
gud job samant,
and thankx for your tips....hehehehe
try this as well, press Ctrl+T for new tab
I recently used one of my frens laptop and the poor guy had win 7 installed. He did not have firefox and when asked he said since it was a new installation, he hadn't had time to install firefox. So I had to browse using IE8. Not only it was irresponsive, but too shitty for me to use more than 2 minutes. I don't know exactly what was wrong, but felt everything was. Was it the error that shows up when page does not load properly (instead of the half loaded page), was it lack of top menu bar, Was it irresponsiveness? I don't know for sure. I immediately downloaded Firefox and then surfed happily ever after.

You dont need to show your exceptional case here. And this not space for advertisement. This is for knowledge sharing. As you know haters make famous. The story was totally nonsense. Please donot pollute by these types of threads.
^I don't get gifts from Mozilla for sharing experiences about Firefox here. So you see who's advertising?
Of course I understand that mentioning anything which is not "Micro$oft's" is polluting here.
But just for the sake of sharing, I'm mentioning this. Don't get stuck at IE, try something new for a day and feel the difference. Google Chrome, Epiphany, Minefield, Shiretoko? You'll know what I'm talking about.
And its not that I don't use IE at all. I do. I use every version of IE (I think 6+ counts as every version). You see, I develop websites occasionally and have to test how the website looks for the rest of you. It looks like "S***! Did I build this? I thought I followed standards". lol.
Anyway Mr./Mrs. Ubuntubay, keep on blogging. There is no battle of war. Sharing is caring. I agree. But start in your own threads if you want to share non related topics.
^Thanks Sujan. I'll take care of that in my future blogs posts.
Well, it's always good to keep more than one browsers with you for browsing, because web designing and programming codes are different for different browsers. Well, I don't know why, but with all those W3C and other international standard makers out there, there is difference in the codes for different browsers.
Well, in this case, i suppose it's because the code didn't supported IE. Actually, in one event that happened in our college, it was advised to us that if we are making any web app, we must try to run it first at the four main browsers: ie. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari. If it works in these, then there will be less chances that it doesn't work in any of the browsers. After all your apps are meant to be accessible for all, and it's your responsibility to make sure of it while developing it.
Sorry, if things have gone a bit more developer type, but I think the information is relevent to be mentioned out here. And I repeat what happened is not because of superiority or inferiority of any browser. Everyone has his choice of supporting the browser he likes depending upon his browsing experience and let's enjoy this freedom ... :)
Yes Samant. It is always good to have more than one browsers. But since IE is the ONLY popular browser not available for other OSes, I can't have it installed. It can always be installed in Wine under linux, but rendering on a installed-on-Wine IE is different from one that is installed on Windows. So, it doesn't help.You said: "I don't know why, but with all those W3C and other international standard makers out there"I'm sure you do. :DYou said:"Well, in this case, i suppose it's because the code didn't supported IE."Please tell me this one. Should browsers support standards or should standards support browsers? "Open Standards" has always been problematic from M$ point of view. You see, they seem to integrate "new technology" and mess around with the standards. And they do this even if their technology brings nothing new or has no benefits over Open Standards, because they want their customers to be locked in to their version of products. Obviously, no-one would want their customers running away from them, but lets face it, there certainly are fairer ways to go about it.You said:"After all your apps are meant to be accessible for all, and it's your responsibility to make sure of it while developing it. "Don't you think it is the responsibility of the browser developers to take care of standards so that we can code in one and it looks exactly on all of those?How do you interpret VBScript in IE? An advanced scripting language which provides you edge over JavaScript? Or a scripting language which makes developer use it and make Websites that are not compatible for other browsers, so you have to use that Browser (and of course the same OS and hence the same Development Tools and a chain of other softwares). Vendor Lockdown my friend.You said: "Everyone has his choice of supporting the browser he likes depending upon his browsing experience and let's enjoy this freedom ... :)"Aha the divine word. "Freedom". Well how do you interpret Freedom? I understand that Freedom implies the Freedom to not be free. Likewise, Freedom of speech also grants you the Freedom to not-speak. You are free to go into a dark room and stay in there forever. However, if you force other people to do the same, then you are not respecting their Freedom. What do you say about M$ Access, M$ QBasic, M$ Office taught to kids at school (have you heard that M$ and its frens here in Nepal have been helping in Education? Do you see the connection?)? What about FOSSNepal not being given a stall at CAN Infotech? I hope you saw M$ was a sponsor at CAN. Do you see the connection?One way of playing around with your Freedom is mis-information and hiding information. How do you interpret "someone" diverting the conversation when somebody talks about anything other than M$? Well, if you think that you have freedom of speech and if you DARE using it, go and ask "whom it may concern" the following set of questions, when you go for your next meeting:"What is wrong with OpenSource?""If OpenSource is wrong, why is Microsoft using it (codeplex, microsoft.com/opensource)?""If OpenSource is right, why aren't we encouraged to use it?""What is wrong with Free Software (Not Free M$ Serial Keys. I'm talking about Swatantra Software here)? "If you get an answer such as because "the software aren't good enough or don't look good enough", then ask him/her "What is the purpose of a Developer's Community then?"Please also suggest that instead of ADVERTISING other's softwares and making them richer using OUR money, why don't we start developing our own.. our own software, which we can call our own, and give it to people for whatever price we want or even give to the community for Free? Easier and better we can use already available Free Softwares and develop and improve them or develop required softwares on top of them.Coming back to Freedom, I hope you know that Freedom always comes with a price. While enjoying your Freedom, you must not infringe other person's freedom. For example you are developing a community site that will only work with one browser (say IE), you are not respecting the users' freedom of selection of browser. This does not apply when you are building a personal site, however.There are different types of computer users. Some require a specific OS with a specific version of Office Suite to be able to work with computers (Say a High School student who has only studied the specified subject Optional Computer and can only work with Windows XP and Office 2000). When was he granted freedom of choice? There opposite end of the spectrum probably lies around a person who just needs some hardware and can do everything with it from creating an OS to development tools and everything he requires. I think we, as developers, should develop from the former state to the latter. I'm not saying that everyone should write OS, drivers and dev tools. But we should be capable of development, we should be capable of using whatever tools we want and develop softwares that are not locked to a particular OS. That is possible, so why don't we go that way.I'd love to hear your responses.I understand that what I am talking about is OFFTOPIC. Pardon me for that. But I have been forced to post it like this. In my previous attempts, I tried posting things in NEW TOPICS as you can see what they did: http://www.msdnnepal.com/2009/12/microoft-opensource-and-mdnnepal-com/
