Answer» Hello and thank you for looking at my dumb question. Does IE open browser tabs within 1 window, and if so, what do I need to check to make it happen for me please? Told you it was a dumb question. I have IE 6 on this computer... and before you go off at me and tell me that IE 9 is available, I dont know if I update to 9, whether the copying of these webinars will continue the same way as I have been successfully do it with IE 6. I have never used IE for any length of time, and recently have had cause to use it ALL the time for this particular website. I have looked on all the Tags but I dont see anything relating to opening a new tab anywhere? If updating to IE 9 will do the same job for me then I'll do that. I suppose I can always delete 9 and reinstall 6. Thank you for helping.I believe IE introduced tabs with version 7. The newest version is 8.Surely, your webinars will work with a post-6 versions of IE. If not, the webinar provider is way behind the times.

It MUST be just something in their website or the website builder software that causes it to misfire on F/F. I dont know much about how all the workings of building the programs goes.

Hello and thank you for looking at my dumb question.

Does IE open browser tabs within 1 window, and if so, what do I need to check to make it happen for me please?

Told you it was a dumb question.

I have IE 6 on this computer... and before you go off at me and tell me that IE 9 is available, I dont know if I update to 9, whether the copying of these webinars will continue the same way as I have been successfully do it with IE 6.

I have never used IE for any length of time, and recently have had cause to use it ALL the time for this particular website.
I have looked on all the Tags but I dont see anything relating to opening a new tab anywhere?

If updating to IE 9 will do the same job for me then I'll do that. I suppose I can always delete 9 and reinstall 6.
