Does anyone know of a good multi-pane web browser like the now-defunct
KatieSoft?  Their big feature that I used was easy 4-pane and 8-pane
web browsers, each with their own auto refresh timers.  This was
perfect for setting up a big display of different web pages in a
monitor for debugging web applications.  Since KatieSoft folded I have
not seen this feature again.  What free web browser software does
this?

I know I could make my own html frames pointing to different websites,
and use javascript to auto refresh them.  I am looking for a web
browser application like katiesoft.

Try using MyIE2:
http://www.myie2.com/html_en/download.htm

Here is a guide page:
http://www.hkhenry.com/myie2/sic/myie2guide/


This is a browser intended to show a tabbed interface, to use the
features that you like do the following.
1- Open your pages inthe tabbed interface.
2- Do a right click on each tab and go to Auto Refresh option to set
the tab autorefresh interval for each one.
3- Do the same but now select 'Use Auto Refresh' where you want to use that.
4- Press simultaneously the keys Control and T to switch to multipane interface.
5- To return to tabbed interface just maximize one window.


NOTE: you can do the same with Opera, but it shows an ad banner.

Hope this helps. If this browser fit your needs please let me know in
order to post this in the answer box and claim the prize.

Yes I am aware of MyIE2 and Opera, I thought that was obvious from the
question.  The problem is that these programs only arrange regular MDI
windows in a larger app workspace, meaning you have to adjust each
pane size individually, they all have title bars, etc.

Katiesoft was a MULTIPANED BROWSER that opened all the panes as though
they were "split view" panes, so they all seemed like they were in the
same window, and you could change ALL OF THE PANE SIZES at once. 
Plus, no online real estate was wasted by the title bars and window
widgets, yet they all had title bars, etc.

I donīt understand why you donīt continue using KatieSoft, may you
cannot find a place to download it again.
If that is the problem, here is the solution:
http://ftp.pcworld.com/pub/new/internet/internet_tools/setupfull.exe

This file installs one of the lastest versions KatieSoft 7.0 
I tested it in my PC and it works fine (Windows XP Pro).
