Tabinta which is a new Firefox extension lets you insert tab characters in multi-line text areas. I’m a developer and I know that I can’t do that naturally, but I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve accidentally tabbed my way to the next field because I tried.

This extension is for those who prefer to be able to use the tab key in text areas. The extension works with:

  • Firefox 1.0 - 2.0.0.*
  • Mozilla 1.7 - 1.7.*
  • SeaMonkey 1.0 - 1.0.*

Run IE6 and IE7 on Same System
November 27th, 2006

Update Jan. 8, 2007: IE6 standalone WITH Conditional Comments and Cookies and IE7 Standalone Version.

Recently I was one of the “Hey what happened?” crowd that had IE7 automatically download and install. Well during my Thanksgiving trip to the in-law’s I jumped on their computer, still pre IE7, and pulled up this blog. Sadly, I was disappointed to see that the floated divs weren’t appearing as they should. For that I apologize to any readers that haven’t seen the right column navigation.

So what to do? I actually like having IE7 installed as it let’s me make sure everything’s working on sites I develop. Of course I need to also be able to make sure that everything works on pre-IE7 as well.

So I head over to Evolt.org and pickup a Standalone version of IE6. All you need to do is extract the files to a directory and then run the IE6 executable to open IE6. Of course you can get a variety of versions of standalone IE versions if you need. I’ve got a membership over at BrowserCam for my extensive browser testing.
