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 :

IE7Pro is no longer compatible with IE8. The last release was around
Feb or Mar which was before IE8 was released. The add-on author never
divulged that he ever did any testing of IE7Pro against IE8 beta. The
developers have not visited the IE7Pro forums since around November of
last year. The admins and moderators have abandoned the forums with the
result that no one else can get elected to have admin rights to moderate
the forums and get rid of the spam and porn crap posts that have
infiltrated the forums. The isolation between frame and tab resources
under separate processes and other security measures in IE8 seems to
have thrown the IE7Pro developers into a loop and they have abandoned
this product.

You might get some portion of IE7Pro to work. Some won't work. Some
have workarounds but often they only function for those that have
"discovered" what worked under their environment. No matter how useful
you think was IE7Pro, it is no longer reliable and will cause problem
under IE8. The product certainly seems to have been abandoned. It was
a good utility but got dropped as happens with many freeware programs.
Uninstall IE7Pro and move on.

The ieSpell add-on gives you spellchecking in IE8 but it doesn't have
the on-the-fly checking of the spellchecker in IE7Pro. You need to
perform the spellcheck before you submit your form data. Also, there
are also been some reported problems with ieSpell. As I recall, there
was mention that you could select some text and spellcheck on just that
text but it doesn't always work anymore. So far, it has worked well
enough for me to keep ieSpell.

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.
