Does IE8 still not have autocomplete or autofill ?

[Jeffy3]

Last year I upgraded to IE8 but didn't like it because it no longer

had a drop down of previously-entered data on the user ID tab on a

website. For example, my user ID for my local library's webpage is

lengthy but once it was entered, in the future I would just have to

tab into the form field and hit the down arrow and the entire number

would appear for me to click on. IE8 didn't seem to do that, so I did

a system restore and got my IE7 back. Does anyone know if they ever

added that feature to IE8? Some web pages I go to aren't supported by

IE7 anymore so I am considering upgrading again.

Have never seen the dropdown ID in IE8. Perhaps more secure???? Why use a

long ID?

1. Never, EVER use System Restore to "undo" an update, Service Pack, or IE

upgrade! Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or IE upgrade &

reboot. If that doesn't correct the problem, then try System Restore.



2. IE8's Smart Address Bar had not changed and will not be changed.

WYSIWYG.



3. Autofill is a function associated with (an older version of?) Google

Toolbar. AutoComplete in IE8 works just like it did in IE7 and earlier.

Why not just save the library's home page to the Favorites menu and rename

it the name of the library? Something like "10th St. Library"

 

[Bob]

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I would like to know why you say "Never,

EVER use System Restore to "undo" an update"

I'm not talking about autocomplete in the address bar. I am talking

about autocomplete on a form field within a website, like where you

type in your user ID.

 

[Unknown]

First you sat 'never ever' use System Restore then you say if uninstall

doesn't correct try System Restore HUH?

Auto fill does NOT work for ID's in IE8.

Oh for crying out loud....



I asked "What webpages might they be?" in response to your initially

stating :



"Some web pages I go to aren't supported by IE7 anymore...."



So I *still* ask you : What webpages might they be? (i.e. that do not

display correctly).

I directed my initial question at the OP - and YOU chose to answer the

question for him!



I had not noticed that it was a different name answering as if it were him!



And to "Cry out loud" is not to weep, you buffoon of an intellectual pygmy.

About that question: "Which websites" (do not display normally)....



I asked the OP [Jeff] because I still love and use IE6 and had *big*

problems with the You-Tube website....



Their site detected I was using IE6 and blocked videos from playing in that

browser - insisting that I must upgrade to a newer browser.



I thought this a bit like [needless] bullying.



And it did indeed turn out to be needless, as, after I installed Google

Chrome, as long as I have ONE instance of Chrome active, videos WILL now

play normally in the IE6 browser again!!!



So much for IE6 not being able to handle their content - they deliberately

wrote code into their web-pages to block my IE6 browser - FOR NO GOOD

REASON!!



Perhaps You-Tube are being paid to do this by Chrome/Firefox ?!
