Poll: Do you type in the www before the URL in the address bar

[psteng19]

Just wondering.

I do, and I'm probably the only one that does

 

[djheater]

It's a habit... not always but most of the time...

 

[SWirth86]

I used to, but then I realized that you didnt have to for almost all sites.

Nope, in IE it's Ctrl+Enter and it puts in the www. and the com for you.

type in microsoft and hit ctrl enter and you get www.microsoft.com

[Geekbabe]

no

 

[CraigRT]

heh, I love CTRL ENTER... i am completely used to it now.. can't go back!!

 

[GigaCluster]

I don't type "www", but some sites don't otherwise resolve to an IP address... grr, how annoying!

 

[J3anyus]

I do, because it's habit.

Yep. Same here.

...and in Mozilla you just type Microsoft and enter--it goes there w/o the Ctrl+Enter that IE uses.
Does Netscape still do that too?

I use IE 5.5 and that feature doesn't work, and I'm sure it used to.
Anybody have any idea what's wrong?

Netscape is Mozilla.

You sure about that?
I could have sworn it used to work for me in 5.5.

 

[her209]

[BMdoobieW]

Ctrl+Enter is G-d!

 

[rutchtkim]
