Addin's for the MS Internet Explorer        

Go to:  Main page | Page above

At time when Internet Explorer 4 came out, the possibilities and power of Dhtml and Scripting fascinated me.
For a while I was playing with in order to see a little inside the technologies.

Among other things then I developed these ADD-Ins.
It concerns to extend the context menu of the Explorer to be able to make additional functions available.
The here down-loadable ADD-In are:


These could be extended in simplest way or as basis for other possibilities,
as for example to mark coloured selected text.
The possibilities are nearly unlimited.

The context menu entries are provided over the registration data base,
and the Explorer can handle additional call parameters to the function referenced in the context menu.
The Add In's run with MS Internet Explorer, version 4 or newer.

Such a sample, a HTML document can be opened.
Also different objects, like applications or Com objects would be possible.
For example, to fill out the inputs from a HTML form.


The installation is rather simple:
  1. Save the HTML file into a folder
  2. Add little to the Registration data base
    Either copy the entry lines, wich you find in the Addin sections, into a text file and save as " file-name.reg" and brought together with the context menu, or insert manually with the registration editor.

PAGE Spion

This small Addin lists all possible file references as Hyperlink in a new Browserwindow and can be examined in such a easy way and be stored also on the own computer. That is to be come interesting around for example to external Script-files.

The following sorts are picked out:
As the Addin is installed , is described above.
The registration file must receive following entries:

Pic Zoom In/Out

Thus the pictures on the side can be increased or made smaller gradually. Each call doubles, respectively the momentary dimension of picture area halves.
The solution is distributed still on two ADD-Ins, could be called however, parameterized, accommodated in one function.

Also this Addin is above described installed as .
