IE7Pro allows Internet Explorer to be tweaked, customized, and scripted
I recently StumbledUpon IE7Pro, which is an add-on for Internet Explorer. Although my primary browser is Firefox, I use IE for our web applications, including Dovetail Agent.
IE7Pro adds a whole bunch of useful enhancements. There are two that are quick wins that I love: Spell Check, and Move the IE menu bar.
Spell Check
I still find it amazing that IE doesn’t have spell check built-in. In the past, I’ve used ieSpell. I’ve now turned off ieSpell and use the spell checking within IE7Pro. It works as spell check does in Firefox, in that it adds a red line under any misspellings. Simply right-click on the word to access the suggestions.
Put the Menu Bar back where it belongs
This is just one of those minor annoyances.
IE7 out of the box puts the menu bar below the address bar:
Using IE7Pro, I can put the menu bar back where it belongs:
What about Internet Explorer 6?
Does IE7Pro work with IE6 ?
IE7Pro can work with IE6 as well as IE7.
GreaseMonkey-like scripts
I use a bunch of GreaseMonkey scripts in Firefox. Now I can do the same in IE. The ieScripts site has a bunch of predefined scripts. I’ll be diving into some of those soon.
There are a ton more features, all listed on the IE7Pro website. Very cool!
Rock on.
