ie 8 and LocalHost

Post by Sebinouse »

I just installed IE8 with Wine ... and when i launch iexplorer I get to the WineHQ site without toolbar.
I would like to connect to "http://localhost:8081/init.do" ...
How can I change the default page, and How can I switch on the toolbar thanks !

IE8 doesn't actually work properly in Wine as yet - there's an option
to install it in winetricks, but that's only for software that demands
it as a prerequisite.

If you need a usable Internet Explorer, IE7 installed with winetricks
works - the interface is largely broken, but it does browse and
render.

That's Wine's IE. To use the native one you would have to set iexplore.exe to native in winecfg. But I don't think IE8 works in Wine anyway.
