    IE Tab

    A free (for personal use) browser extension called "IE Tab" can be added to Chrome or to Firefox
    in Windows to allow Internet Explorer components to support displaying and running web pages
    in a tab inside Chrome or Firefox. This enables you to display web pages that use Microsoft
    Silverlight (such as CTI Navigator Web), Microsoft Sharepoint or ActiveX controls within your
    Chrome or Firefox browser, even if the browser itself does not correctly load Silverlight or ActiveX
    Controls. The IE Tab also includes an "Auto URL" site filter that allows you to specify which web
    addresses should always be opened in an IE Tab in the browser. For optimal convenience, set IE
    Tab to always open your MLS website for CTI Navigator Web in Chrome or Firefox.

    Although it does not open the IE browser per se, IE Tab uses the IE browser control core
    "rendering engine" built into Windows to support core IE functions within other browsers.
    Therefore, to ensure full security when using IE Tab, the latest version of Internet Explorer should
    be installed in Windows on your computer and it should be kept up-to-date with the latest security
    patches from Microsoft. (Automatic Windows updates usually include updates to Internet Explorer
    since the IE control core is an integral component of Internet connectivity in Windows.)

    Both of the original "IE Tab" extensions are very highly rated by users. IE Tab is rated 4.5 stars
    (out of 5) by over 3 million Chrome users and has been a "Top 10" extension since 2009. Beware
    that other IE Tab emulators may include adware, spyware, or malware.

    If Silverlight fails to load, crashes frequently or fails to properly display or print from all CTI
    Navigator Web pages in Chrome or Firefox in Windows, install one of these IE Tab extensions
    appropriate for your browser, and activate the IE Tab extension when running CTI Navigator
    Web. Currently there is no IE Tab for any Mac browser.

    To print reports from CTI Navigator II in Firefox, either print using Firefox's PDF viewer
    (recommended), or install and run IE Tab 2 in your Firefox.

    Chrome IE Tab
    To add the IE Tab browser extension to Chrome

    1. Open Chrome in Windows and click here to go to the Chrome Web Store IE Tab webpage.
    2. Click the " + Add To Chrome " button on the top right corner (also available in the
    "Productivity" section of http://chrome.google.com/webstore )
    3. On the Confirm New Extension pop-up ( ), click the Add button to confirm adding the IE
    Tab Extension to your Chrome browser. (For information on un-blocking pop-ups in Chrome,
    click here.) This will add the IE Tab icon to the Chrome toolbar and automatically open
    the "IE Tab Documentation" web page (which includes information on enabling using "Auto
    URLs" to always open a website in IE Tab)
    4. First-time users:
    Click the IE Tab icon in the Chrome toolbar and, if prompted, download/save the IE
    Tab Helper (which is published by Blackfish Software to maintain IE Tab's compatibility
    with newer versions of Chrome).

    (click on image to enlarge)


    At Chrome's download security prompt, select Keep.
    Open your Download folder, right-click on the ietabhelper.exe file that you downloaded,
    and select "Run as Administrator" (or "Run" in Windows XP). This is needed only for
    the first use.
    If "ietabhelper.exe" does not install, download "ietabhelper.MSI" at
    http://www.ietab.net/enterprise/ietabhelper.msi and double-click to install.
    5. Close Chrome entirely, or open a new tab.
    Note: Do not click the IE Tab icon when at the Chrome Web Store website. This can
    cause a misleading error such as "Sorry, your browser is not supported just yet..."

    To manually activate the IE Tab browser extension in Chrome at the website


    for CTI Navigator Web
    1. Open a new session or new tab in Chrome and browse to the CTI Navigator Web address for
    your MLS
    2. Left-click on the IE Tab icon in the Chrome toolbar (to activate the extension and re-load
    Silverlight if it has crashed)
    3. Sign into Navigator Web.

    To set IE Tab in Chrome to always open at the website for CTI Navigator Web

    1. Right-click on the IE Tab icon and select Options


    2. In the "Auto URLs" options box, enter CTI Navigator Web's full URL address (including
    http:// at the beginning, and / at the end) for your MLS (such as
    http://NegWEB.ctimls.com/ or http://NegaMLS.com/ )
    Alternatively, you can use the asterisk wildcard character (*) in place of your MLS code;
    and enter (or copy and paste) http://*web.ctimls.com/ and/or enter
    http://*mls.com/ as appropriate for whichever address you are using for your MLS.

    3. Click the Add button to save the address.
    4. Scroll down to the "IE Compatibility Mode" section and select the "Standards Mode" for the
    version of IE that is installed on your computer
    5. X to close the IE Tab Options screen (and restart Chrome if prompted).

    and in the subsequent "Confirm Removal" screen.

    IE Tab Multi alternative. An alternative (but less frequently used extension) to this original "IE Tab
    for Chrome" extension is “IE Tab Multi (Enhance)". If desired, you can click here to download IE
    Tab Multi from the Chrome Webstore.

    Firefox logo (to switch from IE Tab to the Firefox rendering engine for the current web page).

    Explorer icon and the IE Tab button in the Firefox toolbar will display the switch to Firefox icon
    .
