More information: (some of the info from about.htm, on request)

- IE4AHK.ahk + inc\Gui_IE.ahk + inc\Gui_IEJS.ahk + res\*.*
These scripts and the resources were created by myself. The graphics are quite ugly, I'm no graphics artist.

I did use some system icons and the four-leaf clover avi I found somewhere, cannot find the source. If you oppose this, please contact me. If MS opposes, I do promote your browser with this project , though I must admit I would trade using it for an alternative at any time.

IE4AHK was coded by daonlyfreez

... but would not have been possible without the enormous efforts of all involved! A big thanks to you all!

And even better:

Unless otherwise stated, all software contained and mentioned and all scripts are free - open source, freeware or free for personal use...
Why pay? ... Enjoy!

Very nice.

Excellent programming style, the code is easy to follow.
Thank you for work, I imagine it will be very useful.


btw, where did you find this lib ?

Thanks!



PhiLho mentioned it in the original thread somewhere. I overlooked it at first too...

Oh, and thank you for the graphic-menu code

Google doesn't give so much pages for lbbrowse3 search...
LBBROWSE DLL

vPhiLho := RegExReplace("Philippe Lhoste", "^(\w{3})\w*\s+\b(\w{3})\w*$", "$1$2")

Who, me? I completely forgot about it, I suppose I found it with some searches...

Yes, you

Found it, it was in another thread, ok: Add an AVI to your AHK Gui - CreateWindow_AVI.ahk [LIB]

I tested and I am impressed! Small control, good capabilities, the answer to many requests...
The code is small, it is a good demonstration that you can do great things in AHK in a few lines. Good GUI.

I see: All files were stripped of their comments, and variable names were replaced with small names, for speed.
You are free to code the way you want, but frankly I doubt this will gain you anything. After the initial loading and parsing time (which is very small in all cases), AHK will have forgotten all comments, and length of variable names is probably irrelevant to speed.

vPhiLho := RegExReplace("Philippe Lhoste", "^(\w{3})\w*\s+\b(\w{3})\w*$", "$1$2")

I see. I didn't know that, I simply assumed less code -> more speed...

I sense short code camp again in the background

This code will serve as an excellent catalyst of ideas for a few minor projects I've been working on. Thanks to all who contributed.

Now if we could only put in support for tabbed browsing...

Great start and useful code . Thanks for sharing.

Edited, see first posting...

nice program daonlyfreez

Very nice daonlyfreez!

I have a small bug to report. The program sometimes does not show the full webpage. This for example happens after I have searched for something on google, I push next 10 results and get to a page like:
http://www.google.dk/search?q=autohotke ... rt=10&sa=N

What happens is that I can only scroll down a part of the page using the scroll-wheel or the scrollbar. What I have to do to get down to the bottom of the page is to mark the text and move the mouse down to the bottom of the screen while holding down the mouse button, then it suddenly scrolls down the whole length of the page. To push refresh on the page is another work-around...

I have just started it, but it's very impressive!
Thank you for it!

Thalon
