Surfing Tip - 'Go' Places

blog@kadatagroup.com (admin) — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 19:54:00 -0500

Many common Internet searches can be performed quickly using the "go" shortcut. For example, if you open Search in Internet Explorer and type go yellow pages, the page will jump to a form where you can lookup a business phone number. Likewise, typing go email automatically brings up a form for searching for a person's email.

You can even type go yellow pages Acme Corp to automatically search for the phone number of a company called Acme Corp. And you can type go amzn to look up the value of a stock quote (in this case Amazon's).

With Internet Explorer 6 in Windows XP, typing Web addresses can be a breeze. Here are some tips to make it even easier.

Type the domain of an address, such as Microsoft, and then press CTRL+ENTER. Internet Explorer automatically wraps & what you typed.
Not sure if the site uses a .com extension? Just type the domain of the address, and then press ENTER. Internet Explorer tries to find the site by using the various extensions.
If you need to edit an address, you can use CTRL+LEFT ARROW and CTRL+RIGHT ARROW to easily move between different parts of the address separated by periods.

Dreamweaver Crashing due to time change?

blog@kadatagroup.com (admin) — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 17:20:45 -0500

We just wanted to let everyone know about an unusual software bug that has hit DreamWeaver version CS3 from Adobe. If you have been experiencing problems since the return to standard (non-daylight savings) time, this little fix may take care of your problems! A caching file located in your application data folder has probably been corrupted as a result of the clocks changing. We originally noticed the problem while building list boxes within form pages, but the word on the street is that it can happen on any page using ASP or PHP on a page that also contains normal HTML. With us, that's almost any page!

We've posted the directions to fix this in the KA Data Group Support Center here. The directions include fixes for Window XP or Vista and this only applies to DreamWeaver CS3 (Version 9)
