This seems like a silly question since it doesn’t have anything to do with programming, so I expect a few silly answers. But this is making me crazy.
I develop in FF but I’m forced to test in IE8 since that’s the only officially-supported browser here (way better than when I had to support IE6!!!).
In testing, I have to fill out the same forms over and over. In FF this is much faster since I just left-click in a text input box and get a list of old values. In IE8, it always seems like I have to start from scratch. The only input that seems to keep old values is a username.
Is there some feature in IE8 that I don’t have turned on? I’d like to use it before carpal-tunnel sets in!
Nope, there isn’t. That’s why newer browsers are better.
Why not pre-populate your forms for testing purposes.
