Description: Implementing Jump Lists for Internet Explorer 9.

 <p>IE9 beta is out, and after giving it a try is not so bad, in fact would be a really good improvement if most of the changes weren't already present on the competitor browsers (either in stable or beta versions).</p> <p>But one thing that is for sure unique and might interest heavy desktop users is the new <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg131029(VS.85).aspx">Pinned Sites</a> IE9 functionality. Basically allows to pin webpages to the taskbar and implement some interactive features like thumbnails, contextual menus and even overlay icons.</p> <p>While Kartones.Net is not the best site to fully use this features, I can for sure place some basic shorcuts to the main sections of the site so... I've just done it:</p> <p><img title="Jumplist" alt="Jumplist" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/screenshots/kartonesnet_jumplist.jpg"></p> <p>Nothing impressive and done just using the &lt;meta&gt; tags because I didn't wanted to add javascript only for this, but it was really fast and easy to create. Remember that only works on Windows 7 and that you have to first pin the site (for example dragging the tab to the taskbar).</p><p>Another small feature to add to the IE <a href="https://blog.kartones.net/post/kartones-net-ie8-web-slice-of-latest-posts">webslice</a> and <a href="https://blog.kartones.net/post/kartones-net-search-engine-working-on-ie8-and-chrome">search provider</a> :)<br></p>
