Chapter 9 Customizing Palm™ Web Pro

Enabling or disabling JavaScript
Web Pro supports JavaScript code on web pages. JavaScript is often used on web
pages for interactive content.
If Web Pro is configured for a Palm-hosted proxy server, JavaScript is enabled by
default and can’t be turned off.
If Web Pro is configured for a non-Palm proxy server or to operate without a proxy
server, JavaScript is enabled by default, but you can disable JavaScript using the
procedure below.
NOTE
Some JavaScript implementations are not supported, such as mouse
rollovers and form validation.
To enable or disable JavaScript:
1. Open the menus.
2. Select Preferences from the Options menu.
3. Tap Advanced.
4. In the Enable JavaScript check box, do one of the following:
– To disable JavaScript, tap to remove the checkmark.
– To enable JavaScript, tap to select it.
5. Tap OK .
Changing the proxy server
Using a proxy server reduces your data charges by downloading web pages faster.
Your handheld comes with the proxy server turned on. You can turn the proxy
server off, or configure some other proxy server.
NOTE
Normal view of the web pages is only available when the proxy server is
turned off. For more information on using the different display views, see “Changing
display views” earlier in this chapter.
To turn on or off the proxy server or to configure another proxy server:
1. Open the menus.
2. Select Preferences from the Options menu.
3. Tap Advanced.
4. In the Use proxy server check box, do one of the following:
– To not use a proxy server, tap to remove the checkmark.
– To use a proxy server, tap to select it.
If you want to use a proxy server other than the default Palm hosted proxy
server, enter the appropriate server address and port number.
5. Tap OK .
