Address bar drop down menu in IE8
Hi,
I am using IE8 with IE7Pro, when I was using IE7 the old addresses in the
drop down menu were replaced by the new addresses as I type them. Now as I
have moved on to IE8, the address bar stays the same and the Maximum allowed
12 addresses stay same even if I don't use them.
I found the culprit by disabling the Add-ons, if I disable IE7Pro.BHO Add-on
the address bar drop down menu behaves like the one in IE7. The problem is,
if I disable this Add-on, I loose the very useful spell checker feature of
IE7Pro.
Could someone please help me to resolve this as I would like to keep both
features.TIA.
OS:Vista Ultimate 32Bit

Re: Address bar drop down menu in IE8
You will have to determine if there's a version of IE7Pro that's
IE8-compatible.

Re: Address bar drop down menu in IE8
I use all three of the ones below at times.

Been using this for years and on IE8 now.

http://www.iespell.com/

You can also use these :

Tiny Spell allows you to INCLUDE the program you want so it works
only with those OR EXCLUDE the ones you want so it works with
all else.

I use the Free Version though the Pro is worthwhile :

FreeSpell also works nicely :

I am pleased to say that I have managed to solve my problem by opening a new
tab and entering the new site URL.
IE7 Pro is compatible with IE8 and it's spell checker is more user friendly.
However I do appreciate your help and Thank you all for your contribution.

Re: Address bar drop down menu in IE8
Try IESpell, its so easy I can't imagine anything easier.

You can enable and disable it easily.

I also have concerns about IE7Pro issues with IE8.

You can use InPrivate Filtering to block Ads.
