Choosing a Web Page

The main way of choosing web pages is to move from one page to a linked page. Tap a link on the current page to display the page that is linked to.

Links are displayed on the reading screen and touchscreen in whatever way the web page indicates they should be displayed. For example, a different color might be used to indicate links.

To determine what is a link, touch it, but do not raise your finger. If an orange box appears around the text or graphic on the touchscreen, it is a link. If you want to go there, raise your finger. If you do not want to, move your finger and then raise it.

Tap the Back and Forward buttons to move backward and forward along a series of web pages that you have visited most recently.

There are five other ways to select web pages. Access these with the Go To... button:

•Web page: Go to a web page. You enter the web page address (also called a URL). You can omit the leading http:// (or https://) and www.

•Home: Go to your home page, which is defined in the browser settings. The default home page gives some help information about the browser. Its location is:

file:///android_asset/browser.html

•Search: Perform a web search with the words you specify. The search is performed using your default search provider, which is defined in the browser settings.

•Favorites: Go to a favorite web page.
