IE6 Now Has Tabbed Browsing
I just finished a 3 day contract, the second one I've ever had. I signed a non-disclosure agreement before accepting the contract so I can't give any details, but one of the results of the contract was me looking into tabbed browsing with IE6. It turns out that the new MSN toolbar for IE6 has a button for creating new tabs. There's also a setting for opening all links in a new tab. I'm writing this on a laptop that's running Windows 2000, so the only way I was able to get tabbed browsing was with Firefox, but now I get do that with IE6! That probably doesn't sound all that exciting to most people, but there are a lot reasons for preferring IE6 over Firefox; e.g., DHTML is easier to write for IE6 and there are lots of special effects available with ActveX that you can whip up with a few lines of JavaScript.
