Connecting to WWW

¿Select a WWW page from the Hotlist or enter a URL address in the URL entry field (see "Connecting to WWW: Navigating in WWW" on page 7-14).

¡Press Retrieve.

If the WWW page has been downloaded and re- mains in the communicator’s temporary working memory (or “cache”), the page is retrieved from there. If not, the page is downloaded from the Internet by making a data call to the selected Internet access point.

You can retrieve WWW pages stored on the communicator by using the prefix “file:///”.

Some servers have access restrictions which re- quire a valid user name and password before a document can be downloaded. The communica- tor will store the passwords and user names that you enter to gain access to those domains, and submit them automatically the next time you connect to the same domain. If the automated login does not succeed, you will be asked to en- ter the information manually.

Note: Stored passwords to individual web sites are removed when the communicator is rebooted (i.e., when the battery is re- moved and replaced).

The downloaded WWW page is loaded in the

WWWbrowser. The status line on top of the dis- play shows the status of the connection, the title of the document and how many bytes of the document file have been received.

To reload a web page, press Ctrl+R.

After the WWW page has been downloaded, the following commands are available (Figure 7-6):

Go activates the WWW navigation commands (see "Connecting to WWW: Navigating in WWW" on page 7-14).

Save activates a new set of commands:

Copy text/Copy image copies the text (or image) on the opened page into the Down- loaded files folder. Possible text formatting is retained in the copy.

Add to hotlist adds on the Hotlist a link pointing to this WWW page.

Copy HTML saves the HTML code of the cur- rently opened WWW page or inline image into the Downloaded files folder and adds to the hotlist a link pointing to this WWW page (see "Connecting to WWW: Locally stored WWW pages" on page 7-14).

Back returns the previous set of commands.

Off line ends the data call and disconnects from the Internet. Once you are off line, this com- mand changes to On line.

You may choose to use the Off line function, for example, to read copied text off line. The copied text can be read or edited (see Chapter 8 "Notes: Notes settings - Editing" on page 8-2).

To reconnect to the Internet, press On line. While you are off line, commands Retrieve, Re- trieve image or Previous, or other applications may also return you to on line.

Close returns you to the Hotlist.
