Tech Tip 23 - Quick Tabs and Tab Lists in IE7

When multitasking with several different websites in Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) it’s often difficult to remember which web page is located on which tab, especially if you have numerous tabs open or if the tab titles are less than descriptive.  The Quick Tabs and Tab List buttons exist for this reason.  The arrow in the screen capture below is pointing to both the Quick Tabs button on the left and the Tab List button on the right. 

 

 

These buttons will not appear in IE7 until you’ve opened more than one tab.  Once you have multiple tabs open, clicking on the Quick Tabs button will display a grid of thumbnail images of the web pages that exist on each tab.  Simply click on any thumbnail to jump to the associated Tab.  The Tab List button displays a drop-down list that displays the title of each web page on each tab.  Simply click on any item in the list to jump to the associated Tab.
