For everyone I suspect. Unless there has been something added to IE8 to support tabs by an API my understanding is that tabs are strictly the end users choice of presentation for multiple windows. I.e., a web site author should neither know nor care if there are tabs or windows or, if tabs, how they relate to each other (e.g. using the options I mentioned.) Hence, the only way that you could control such presentation would be by simulating keystrokes which you knew to be the most reliable in either case. BTW the IE General NG is not the best forum for discussing workarounds for this limitation. I suggest you try the MSDN forum for IE web development instead. Robert ---

There are several examples of how to do this via html/dhtml posted on the web. Lets say you decide to implement your own tab control using a series of (html) buttons. In that case, you can select the tab you want using a button.click statement. I have attached a script which shows a row of "made-up" tabs, which is just a row of buttons. The trick here is in how you "decorate" the buttons. I found the underlying tab control code on the web, but can't remember where I found it (sorry if the real author is lurking out there). Anyway, if you decide to do something like this, you can see what it would take to "click- a-tab". Beyond that, if you just want to open a series of webpages one-at-a-time, then I agree with mayayana -- you don't need any tabs to do that... cheers, jw ____________________________________________________________ You got questions? WE GOT ANSWERS!!! ..(but, no guarantee the answers will be applicable to the questions) p.s. Achtung Vorsicht! If you decide to try out the attached script (er, I mean hta) then you will discover that it is not fully debugged, and was only taken to the "proof-of-concept" point. If you dismiss the error dialogs, you should get a working "tab control". Also, don't get too annoyed with the comments promising to show a "fake status bar" -- that isn't there. I used another script as a template but didn't clean up the comments. Sorry about that. Note also, the extensions of the "hta" file and the accompanying "css" file were changed to "txt", to avoid having any nasty AV software from screening them out as "malicious" scripts.
