View Full Version : A simple IE Q purely out of curiosity....

For no other reason than idle curiosity can anyone kindly explain to me why in IE6 when opening a new window and typing the beginning of a URL the auto complete box does not always contain a previously typed URL even when cookies etc have not been cleared, yet open another window and it will.
It seems odd to me as I would of assumed the cookies are pooled in a common place meaning any and all IE windows would 'look' at them consistently. This behaviour seems random, sometimes it happens sometimes not.

As I say just curious so very simple answer will suffice.

Cheers.

Or is the obvious answer simply "Micro$oft" ? :hmm:

SyllogismCheck,

I have seen it both ways and never had a reason for it. I think it is just M$ in action. ;)

Take Care,
