Overview
Some web pages will only work properly when viewed with Internet Explorer. The Chrome IE Tab extension allows you to run IE from within a tab in Chrome enabling you to display such web pages without leaving Chrome, and you can configure the extension to do so automatically for URLs you specify.
Enabling Auto URLs
Whenever Chrome displays a web page, the IE Tab extension checks to see whether the web page should actually be displayed using IE. You designate these pages by setting up Auto URL filters.
Wildcard character
Auto URLs are actually filters that may match more than one URL. You can use the wildcard character '*' to match any string of characters in the URL. Examples:
- file://*
- http://www.microsoft.com/*
- http://www.someactivexsite.com/*
Regular expressions
Auto URLs may also be specified using regular expressions. Regular expressions are specified by prefixing the Auto URL with "r/". Examples:
- r/http\:\/\/www\.microsoft\.com\/.*
- r/https\:\/\/[^\/].*activex.*
