    Mozilla has a nice feature which lets you open a link in a new tab or window by clicking on it with the middle mouse button.. Anyone know if it's possible to do something similar with IE 5?

    I usually press shift while clicking (I always browse boards this way when using IE). Don't even need a 3-button mouse to do that. Don't know if it can be done using the middle button on the 3-button mouse without involving the keyboard.

    my mouse came with a setup utility that lets you customise what the middle button does, i'm pretty sure you can set it to open link in new window.

    it's for a labtec optical mouse, but it works fine perfectly with my balled microsoft intellimouse as well.

    If Kopf wanted another browser, Kopf would have asked for one.

    Inane advocacy recycled.

    But some people need help to see the light.
