Navigating Between Pages
| This page is about navigating in context - following hypertext links and using the Back and Forward buttons on the Tool Bar. Navigator also keeps track of the pages you have seen. |
Hypertext links are what the World Wide Web is all about. Clicking on these hot links when the mouse hand
appears will start you on a multimedia journey that can take you anywhere in the world. A link is usually text or an image that stands out from the rest of the page. Text links are normally underlined and in the color blue. When you pass the cursor over a hypertext link, the mouse arrow transforms to a hand with pointing finger. Hypertext links are often embedded in an image. If a hand appears when you point the mouse at the image, there is an embedded hypertext link.
Whenever you see a hand, there is a link. Check out the link below

Getting Around
1. The Back and Forward Buttons
The Back and Forward buttons are the standard way to move between pages. These buttons will take you back or forward, one page at a time, to all of the pages you have been to during your current Web-surfing session. If you place your pointer on the Back or Forward buttons a floating tag will appear, this is the name of the Web page that you will go to if you left-click the button. You can also view a list of the Web pages you have recently visited by right-clicking on the Back or Forward button. While this list is displayed you can left-click your mouse on any of the addresses (URL's) and Navigator will take you there. Back and Forward are also listed under Go on the Menu bar.
Click on the Back button in the Tool bar - then return to this page with Forward.
2. Right Click the Mouse
You can use your right mouse button to "travel through" pages and frames.
Point the mouse at a patch of clear space and click the right mouse button once. You will see the box to the right. Choose either Back or Forward.
Choosing Back will take you back one page and choosing Forward will take you forward one page. You can go Back and Forward as many times as it takes you to get to where you desire.
3. Go
Navigator keeps track of the pages you have visited to get where you are now. You may view the names of these pages under Go. A click on an earlier page will return you to that display. Up to 15 pages are listed.
4. Home
You can always go Home again. The Home button on the Tool bar returns you to the page that you have set up as your start-up (or home) page.
