IE8 Accelerator issue

E

Ethan Strauss

Hi,
I just got IE8 last week and I immediately went out and went out and
built myself some nifty new accelerators. I have made about 5 of them and
most of them work just fine, but one of them seems to sometimes cause all
accelerators to fail when it is set as the default in its category.
Everything seems fine when it is not the default. When it is default, I still
get the blue arrow thingie, but it shows nothing when I click on it. This
effect seems to also be linked to the page I am on when I have it try to use
it. For example, no accelerators work from
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...x?dg=microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp,
but they all seem to work from the new post entry window
(http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/aspx/postui.aspx) . I found something similar
described on the web
(http://www.techsupportforum.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=2445095),
but I would like to know what is going on and how to allow setting that
accelerator as default for that category.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Ethan

Yeah, there is a redirect and weird things happen. Right now, I am working
with various accelerators to get the hang of them and iron out the bugs (like
this one). If everything goes smoothly, we may set up a better page for the
accelerator to hit.

Hello Ethan,

If this problem still actual to you. I found one possible couse for that.
The problem is in name of category "Search". It somehow conflics with Search
providers. Because for every Search provider there is also generated
accelerator, where one is default.
So just change category to "Find" or something else, and everyhting should
work smoothly.
