IE7 VBScript

Can some MS gurus be very kind enough to show me a VBScript to insert new a tag with a URL such as http://online.wsj.com/public/us?

Using MS statements to open multiple webpages in multiple tags is possible but inefficient and unreliable

Thanks in advance.

Hi Armstrong...

How about revisiting Macro Scheduler without using VB script?

Here's the command line to use with Firefox:
firefox.exe "www.mozilla.org|www.mozillazine.org"

You can see it uses the "|" pipe as a delimiter. So how about this?
Run Program>Drive:\Path\firefox.exe "www.url1.com|www.url2.com|www.url3.com"

That is not too complex, and the urls could all be set with variables or by a separate text file.

Hi bob,
It's nice to hear to your guiding voice again. Actually, my quest for the IE7 VBscript is challenging, if not impossible, because Microsoft hasn't release the details of the methods and properties of IE7 tabs. At most, all URL can be opened in spearate instances of IE, which isn't desirable.
Currently my code is purely MS. My ambitious goal is to incorporate all my existing MS scripts with VBScript/VBA codes wherever possible.
BTW, I wonder if MS could support JAVA as well.
Thanks for your help.

It was good to see you back here again, you've been away for a while.....

Good old Microsoft challenges. Did you note that my response only addressed Firefox vs. MSIE? That was intentional.

Best wishes and good luck with your efforts.

Thanks to your advice, now it's the time I'll take a serious look at FireFox.
