Stupid IE Trick

[twister]

I dont know if this has already been told, but have you ever typed in an address in IE and when the auto complete windows comes down, move the browser window? The auto complete window stays place.

Weird....

I noticed that too, but I'd say that's a bug not a trick. It should be like a sheet -- it should stay with the window.

In mac os 9.2 it just goes away.

Hmm... Please edit your post to say: 'Mac OS 9.2 just goes away.'

it's not a bug... it's a feature

Even the transpierces it's rendered behind the auto complete window stay the same.

I have a problem when I click inside of certain windows and the entire window moves so that the title bar is centered on that point.

Another stupid IE trick(OSX): apl(meta?)-click and move the text, but jiggle it up and down a bunch. It will give you a wait cursor because it appears to be too much for the app.

My other favourite is to hit meta-O to open a file, then hit escape right after. Locks up the browser sometimes for 30+ seconds.

or you could just load up a page on slashdot with say 500 comments, and watch it lock up every browser window for 60+ seconds.

MSIE sucks.

Hey how about you guys stop using IE so you don't notice these 'tricks'. Thanks!

I have to use IE. I design webpages and they must be looked at in IE and Netscape. IE does have its problems but unfortunally any other browser pisses me off also. I like none of them. But if i could piece them all together and make a good one. That'd rock.
