Clean up this mess

It seems Neptune is working fine with Opera 9.5. I'll have to try it for myself yet, but if it does, I will update and clean up this blog soon, and actively support IERendering again.

Until then: if you have any questions, you can always ask, but I can't guarantee I'll help.

Whatever. Here it is.

See this forum post by AyushJ for the 'Open in IE' (so, NOT 'View in IE') script. As no one really seemed interested, me included, it shouldn't be a big deal I waited for about 7 years before updating my blog. If someone actually cared: sorry!

Anyone in for a 'Open page in IE automatically'-script?

Title says all. As the Neptune plugin doesn't work anymore, you're forced to use the 'Open page in IE' button (found here). My script for the Neptune plugin automatically opened pages using Neptune, anyone thinks there's a need for the same script, only then for the 'Open in IE' thingy instead of 'View using IE'? Maybe with automagic closing of the tab opened in Opera. It's not so convenient, but hey, maybe some people want it?

One request is enough for me...

Opera 9.2 and up is incompatible with Neptune plugin

I really hate to say it, but this whole thing has become pretty useless, as it doesn't seem to work with Opera 9.2 and Opera 9.21. The plugin just crashes when called upon. It seems to be the plugin, so I can't fix it. I'll ask the Opera dev guys, I'll fill in a bug report or something.

:frown:

Edit: it seems to work for some websites, sometimes. But it's really unrealible.

IERendering package

#UPDATED#

What it does:
It enables you to use the Internet Explorer rendering engine in Opera. So if you come across a site that doesn't work in Opera, you can tell Opera to render it using the IE engine, and it will work. If there are sites you visit regularly that don't work, you can add them to a file to automatically open using the IE engine. So you don't have to launch Internet Explorer ever again.
Download here.
You can skip any step you like, except step one. See the end of this post of a description of what each step does.

Installation:
1. Install 1.exe. Just follow the steps.
2. Copy 2.exe to the folder where your opera.exe resides. Now, change your shortcut to Opera.exe to launch 2.exe instead.
3. Open 3.htm (with Opera) and click IERendering. You can add this button to your toolbar now. When you click this button, the current page will reload in IE in the same page.
4. Copy 4.js to your UserJS folder (if you don't have UserJS enabled: you can enable in Opera: Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> JavaScript Options - choose a UserJS folder there)
5. You can edit 4.js with a text editor (Notepad for example). The second part (past // IERendering script (created by me)) says which pages should load using IE:

// ==UserScript==
// @include http://update.microsoft.com/*
// @include http://www.windowsupdate.com/*
// @include http://www.yousendit.com/*
// @include http://www.*.map24.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

You can edit or delete these links, or add your own. Leave the rest of the script as it is.

6. Go to opera:config#UserPrefs|UserJavaScriptonHTTPS (paste this link in your Opera adress bar) and check the box next to "User JavaScript on HTTPS". Restart Opera when you did this.

What every step does (for people interested):
1: Installs Neptune plugin.
2: Changes shortcut from opera.exe to a script created in AutoIt that will click away those nasty embedded-IE error messages automatically.
3: Installs the button for in the toolbar. You know, the one from the Opera Knowledge Base.
4 + 5: Activates my UserJS scripts that opens sites automatically using Neptune and bypasses the Click to activate thingy. Yes, it's stolen from noclicktoactivate.js.
6: Enables UserJS on https sites, so https sites can be loaded in IE too.


If you have any questions, just post a comment. I hope I can help.
