Hyperlinks
are used to send or receive informa-
tion from the World Wide Web. Hyperlinks are
typically links to other documents or images.
Hot spots
enable you to input information into
the World Wide Web. There are several kinds of
hot spots, like selection lists, text entry fields and
reset/submit buttons.
Use the scroll buttons to scroll the view and to
choose hyperlinks and hot spots. Each scroll key
press selects the nearest hyperlink or hot spot, or,
if there are no hyperlinks or hot spots in the view,
a key press moves the view one line up or down.
The following commands may appear as the first
command in this view, depending on what kind
of item is selected on the page:
Fetch
follows a
hyperlink;
Fetch image
loads an image;
Press
sends the form contents to the server or resets
selections to their default settings;
Change
acti-
vates various items, such as check boxes.
Previous
opens the previously visited WWW
page. Command is dimmed if there is no previous
page.
Back
returns the WWW browser commands.
History
activates the History view. You can move
back and forward in the history list by selecting
a previously fetched WWW page from the list
and pressing
Fetch
. The history list contains the
most recently fetched documents (and their URLs
– shown in the URL entry box). After the maxi-
mum list length is reached, older pages are delet-
ed one by one as new ones are stored.
Image viewer
Images that are part of the fetched WWW page
are called inline images. By default, inline images
are not fetched with the WWW page (see the op-
tion
Autoload images
in the WWW settings). Un-
fetched images are displayed on the WWW page
as icons. An unfetched image can be fetched by
selecting the icon and then pressing
Fetch image
.
Inline images can also be image maps. An inline
image map acts like a hyperlink. A fetched and
selected image map contains a cursor which can
be moved with the keyboard arrow keys. When
you press
Fetch
, the pixel coordinates of the cur-
sor are sent to the URL, and the corresponding
WWW page is fetched.
Images that are separate documents and not part
of a hypertext document are called external im-
ages. When an external image is fetched, it is
viewed separately from the hypertext document
in the image viewer. The external image viewer
commands are:
Copy image
copies the external image in the
Downloaded files folder with its server-given
name.
View
loads the external image in the image
viewer, described in chapter 5 "Fax: Received
faxes".
