I would like the ability to customize the Links Toolbar so that I can create one or more rows and modify the attributes for individual links on the bar. Further, I would like the ability set multiple "home pages" within the TABS so that when I launch IE it auto-launches each of the pre-set TABS into their respective home pages thus allowing me to quickly access key corporate and non-corporate content sources.

The popup behavior is still bugging the hell out of me, mainly because certain ads have figured out how to bypass it (Drudgereport is particularly nasty). Same thing happened with Google's toolbar, too. I suspect it's Shockwave being misused (only ActiveX control I see in my list that is capable of even doing it), but it would be a nice feature to have some kind of detailed logging to see what specifically caused the popup bypass.
Real good to have the actual behavior documented, though; helps me narrow down what isn't the cause

Silent Changes on the InfoTech Protocol

Silent Changes on the InfoTech Protocol... and Other Questions on File Extensions

Dear Sirs,

It seems that have occurred a slight and silent change on the behavior of the InfoTech Protocol that isn't explicitly documented anywhere: it no more accepts files with missing extensions. Obviously, this is part of the changes related to "SP2 File Types Assurance", let us say. But, a little question: this should apply to cases where aplications ( HTAs included ) are invocating the address pointing to such a file?! The same question would arise with respect to HTML Documents with missing extensions and an unequivocal DocType declaration, that are apparently also being rejected.

Thanks

DXImageTransform.BasicImage & Relative Position

Marcus — Mon, 25 Jul 2005 22:15:48 GMT

Dear Sirs,

It seems to me that there are a little misconcept in the rotation feature of the BasicImage DirectX filter. Let us take the following code fragment:

<div id="objectContainer" style="width:100px; height:200px; background:#e0e0e0; filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3)">
objCont
<div id="object0" style="width:30px; height:30px; position:relative; left:10px; top:10px; background:#ffe0e0">obj0</div>
</div>

I think that even when "objectCotainer" is not "positioned" ( that is, does not has CSS "position" defined as "relative", "absolute" or "fixed" ) "object0" should be rotated when relatively positioned -- what, currently, doesn't is the IE behavior. This appears a misconcept because "relative position" implies a integral conformance with the recipient's coordinate system, thing that in the above exposed case doesn't occur.

Thanks

DXImageTransform & Printing

DXImageTransform & Printing

Dear Sirs,

I have tested printing on IE with objects rotated through the DXImageTransform filter and noticed that on some ( all? WinMe? ) Win98 Standard/Second Edition ( with actualized DirectX components ) the objects do not appear. What is occuring?

Thanks,
Marcus

Tell me that documentation is standards compliant.

Documentation Focus Recommendations

Brian Sexton — Fri, 22 Jul 2005 20:44:43 GMT

How about if you focus some of your documentation efforts on explaining to people why MSDN blog feeds use HTTPS links, which is unnecessary and annoying, especially when a feed-reader pops up a certificate warning FOR EVERY SINGLE LINK IN YOUR FEED. Bah.

C'mon you guys release a date for the beta release of the next Windows, but you can't release a beta date of the next IE???

I'd like to see more up-to-date documentation and examples on IE's low-level interfaces. Areas I've found where improved documentation is helpful:

DOCHOSTUIFLAG - some flags seem to be missing from the list and others should be on the list

ISelectionServicesListener - This does not seem to do what the documentation states especially with regards to undo events

IHTMLChangePlayback - any examples on how this can be used would be useful

HTML_PAINT_XFORM - this structure never seems to return a transform if 'zooming' into an element

In general, IE's low-level interfaces are extremely powerful but a lack of documentation makes them difficult to use.
