The Tool Bar
Take a look at these useful buttons that are at the top of every Netscape page.
Make sure you are familiar with what each one does and when you would use it.
- Back To return to where you were before you explored a link
- Forward To return to the link you just left.
- Home Takes you straight back to your homepage.( in this case Lincoln's homepage)
- Reload This reloads the page. Use it if the Netscape logo "N" has stopped pulsing and the page seems to be stuck.
It is a good idea to push STOP to stop the stuck version of the page loading then push RELOAD to get a fresh one.
- Images Displays any images that are part of the current page (if they haven't automatically loaded).
- Open To ask Netscape to go to a particular web address ( called a URL)
- Print Prints the page you are looking at..Be sure to check the length of the page and your print credit first.
- Find Searches for keywords within the webpage you are on. Useful for finding a word in a very long pages.
- Stop Stops Netscape from searching for a link. Use if a page is taking too long to load and always use it before you push reload.
PS.. when these buttons are "pale", it means the option is not available at that moment.
