This volume explains how to optimize Internet Explorer 4.0 in every way. Readers learn how to get ActiveX components from the Internet, maximize Web-surfing sessions, use the SmartFavorites feature (a "bot" that searches the Web for you), take advantage of IE4's mail and newsgroup reader, use IE4 with Microsoft Outlook, and get the most out of the Internet and the Web. Coverage also includes installation and configuration options, using the browser as the desktop environment to manage files and run programs, creating Web pages with IE4, and using ActiveX tools and using HTML within the browser. The book has a dual focus for users and developers alike, and provides information on NetMeeting and Microsoft's new newsreader client software.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Internet Explorer 4: Browsing and Beyond is a successful take on the often disastrous all-in-one tutorial idea: it combines manual-style reference for Microsoft's new Web browser, a Web site guide, and an introduction to developing your own Web pages and complex sites into one volume. This beginner-to-intermediate-level tutorial teaches how to use IE 4 to get the most out of the Web and how to use it as a Web development tool.
The first section of the book details the end-user features of IE 4 and points the way to valuable destinations on the Web. Less experienced users will find the sections on newsgroup browsing and maximizing search engines particularly helpful. The second section, devoted to developing sites and pages that utilize the latest IE features, is a good beginning tutorial. The material runs the range from simple FrontPad page creation to ActiveX and the basics of Dynamic HTML. Because the overview of this material is designed to get you up and running as smoothly as possible, you may need to supplement Internet Explorer 4: Browsing and Beyond with other books for more specific information on Dynamic HTML, ActiveX controls, or general Web development.
