What is Intellisense?
Originally introduced in Microsoft Office, IntelliSense technology is designed to save you time by automating routine tasks and simplifying complex tasks. By building IntelliSense throughout Internet Explorer 5, Internet Explorer 5 makes the Web easier and more accessible for everyone. Internet Explorer 5 brings IntelliSense to the Web with:

• Simplicity: Improvements to the Search, History, and Favorites bars make it easier than ever to find and organize information.
• Automation: Internet Explorer 5's Intellisense technology can save you time by doing the most common Web tasks for you, like typing web page addresses.
• Flexibility: Internet Explorer 5 even gives you freedom of choice to use different platforms, email and news clients, and source editors, including popular UNIX programs such as emacs or vi. Different types of web content may also be associated with programs directly from Internet Explorer's options panel.

We focused on meeting the needs of our UNIX customers by implementing the things you asked for, including:

Consistent support for standards. Internet Explorer 5 for UNIX offers the most complete support of Internet standards and technologies, including XML and DHTML. Content developers can take advantage of these technologies across both UNIX and Windows platforms.

Administrators can set up proxies and accounts, apply advanced settings and security restrictions, and customize the Internet Explorer interface all from the IEAK Wizard.
