<h2>Creating a New Page</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Netscape Composer is an HTML (HyperText Markup Language) editor that allows you to create and edit web pages.
|
||||
Composer is <i>WYSIWYG</i> (What You See Is What You Get) editor, so you can see how your page will look to the reader as you're creating it. It's not necessary for you to know HTML, since most of the basic HTML functions are available as commands from the toolbars and menus.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To create a web page, use one of the methods described below. Once you've
|
||||
started a page, you can add and edit text just as you would in a word processor.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>To create a new page</b>:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the Tasks menu and choose Composer. A Composer window containing a blank page opens.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>To edit a page you're currently browsing in Navigator</b>:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>In the Navigator window of the page you're viewing, open the File menu and choose Edit Page.
|
||||
You see a Composer window that contains the page you're viewing.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>To start from an HTML file stored on your local drive</b>:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Tasks menu and choose Composer.</li>
|
||||
<li>Open the File menu and choose Open File.</li>
|
||||
<li>Locate the file on your hard drive that you want to use.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click Open to see the specified file in a Composer window.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>To edit a Web page</b>:
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the file menu and choose Open Web Location.
|
||||
<li>In the Open Web Location dialog box, type the URL of the page (for example,<i> www.netscape.com</i>), and then select New Composer from the pop-up menu.
|
||||
<li>Click Open to view the page in a Composer window.
|
||||
<b>Note</b>: Keep in mind that when you save this page, it will only be saved on your hard drive.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Tip</b>: In the Composer window you can quickly open the most recent files you've been working on by opening the File menu, choosing Recent Pages, and then selecting the file you want from the list.

<a NAME="Edit_modes"</a>
|
||||
<h2>Choosing the Right Editing Mode</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Composer allows you to quickly switch between four <i>editing modes</i> or views. Each editing mode allows you to continue working in your page, but displays varying levels of HTML tags (and tag icons).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Before you choose an editing mode:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the View menu and make sure there's a check mark next to Edit Mode Toolbar.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Edit Mode toolbar has four tabs:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Normal</b>: Choose this mode to show table borders and named anchor icons. All other HTML tag icons are hidden.
|
||||
<li><b>Show All Tags</b>: Choose this mode to show table borders and all HTML tag icons.
|
||||
<li><b>HTML Source</b>: Choose this mode to see the page as unformatted HTML code.
|
||||
<li><b>Edit Preview</b>: Choose this mode to see the page as it would appear in a browser window. </li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Note</b>: JavaScript functions, frames, and animated gif files are not enabled in any of the editing modes.</p>
|
||||

|

<a NAME="browse_new_page"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Saving and Browsing Your New Page</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To save a new page as an HTML file on your local drive:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the File menu and choose Save. If you haven't already given your page a title, Composer prompts you to do so.
|
||||
You see a dialog box where you can specify a filename or location. You don't need to add the .html extension to the filename; Composer adds it for you.
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Choose Save As if you want to give the page a different filename or location.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Tip</b>: Choose Revert to Last Saved from the File menu to retrieve the most recently saved copy of the document in which you're working. Keep in mind that your current changes will be lost.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To view your page in a Navigator (browser) window in order to test your links:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the File menu and choose Browse Page.
|
||||
If you have not yet saved your document, Composer prompts you to enter a page title, filename, and location.
|
||||
The Composer window remains open behind the new Navigator window. </li>
|
||||

<h2>Formatting Paragraphs, Headings, and Lists</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To apply a format to a paragraph:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Place the pointer where you want the format to begin and click, or highlight the paragraph(s) you want to format.
|
||||
<li>Open the Format menu and choose Paragraph.
|
||||
<li> Select one of the following formats:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Body Text</b>: Applies the application default font and style for regular text, without affecting the spacing before or after the text.
|
||||
<li><b>Paragraph</b>: Inserts a paragraph tag (use this to begin a new paragraph). The paragraph format applies to the spacing before and after the paragraph.
|
||||
<li><b>Address</b>: This format can be used for a web page "signature" that indicates the author of the page and the person to contact for more information, as in this example: <address>Carlos_Goldstein@netscape.com</address>
|
||||
You might want to include the date and copyright notice. This format usually
|
||||
appears at the bottom of the web page under a horizontal line. Composer displays address format in italics.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Preformatted</b>: This is useful for elements such as code examples,
|
||||
column data, and mail messages that you want displayed in a fixed-width font.
|
||||
Most browsers remove extra spaces, tabs, and paragraph returns in your text.
|
||||
However, text that uses the Preformatted style is displayed with the white
|
||||
space intact, preserving the layout of the original text.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Blockquote</b>: Choose this format to indent quoted text on both the left and right.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To apply a heading format:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Place the pointer where you want the format to begin and click, or highlight the text you want to format.
|
||||
<li>Open the Format menu and choose Paragraph.
|
||||
<li>Choose the level of heading you want, from 1 to 6 (largest to smallest). For example, choose "Heading 1" for your main heading, "Heading 2" for the next level, and so forth.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To apply a list item format:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Highlight the text you want to format.
|
||||
<li>Open the Format menu and choose List.
|
||||
<li>Choose the list style:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Bulleted</b>: Each Item has a bullet (dot) next to it (as in this list).
|
||||
<li><b>Numbered</b>: Items are numbered.
|
||||
<li><b>Term</b> and <b>Definition</b>: These two styles work together, creating two columns such as for a glossary.
|
||||
Use the Term tag for the word being defined, and the Definition style for the definition.
|
||||
The Term text appears flush left, and the Definition text appears indented.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Tip</b>: You can quickly apply a list style to text by selecting the text and clicking the Numbered List <img src="images/numbers.gif" width=16 height=16 alt="" border="0"> and Bulleted List <img src="images/bullets.gif" width=16 height=16 alt="" border="0"> buttons on the toolbar.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To change the style of bullets or numbers:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Click to place the pointer within the text of the list item you want to change.
|
||||
If you want to change the entire list, select the whole list.
|
||||
<li>Open the Format menu and choose List Properties.
|
||||
<li>Choose a bullet or number style from the pop-up menu. For numbered lists, also specify a starting number.
|
||||

click Advanced Edit to display the <a href="#PROPERTY_EDITOR">Advanced Property Editor</a>.
|

<h2>Changing a Table's Properties</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can modify properties that apply to an entire table as well as the rows, columns, or individual cells within a table.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To view, change, or add properties for a table (for example, caption, background color, and spacing):
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Select the table, or click anywhere inside it.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click the Table button <img src="images/table.gif" width=16 height=16 alt="" border="0"> on the toolbar, or open the Table menu and choose Table Properties. You see the Table Properties dialog box with two tabs: Table and Cell.
|
||||
<li>Click the Table tab to edit these properties:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Size</b>: Use this to specify the number of rows and columns.
|
||||
Indicate the height and width of the table and then choose "% of window"
|
||||
or "pixels." If you specify height or width as a percentage, the table's
|
||||
height or width changes whenever the Composer window's or browser window's height or width changes.
|
||||
<li><b>Borders and Spacing</b>: Use this to specify, in pixels, the
|
||||
border line width, the space between cells, and the cell padding (the
|
||||
space between the contents of the cell and its border). <b>Note</b>:
|
||||
Composer uses a dotted outline to display tables with a zero border;
|
||||
the dotted line disappears when the page is viewed through a browser.
|
||||
<li><b>Table Alignment</b>: Use this to align the table within the page. Choose an option from the pop-up menu.
|
||||
<li><b>Caption</b>: Check the box if you want to insert space for a caption and then choose a placement from the pop-up menu.
|
||||
<li><b>Background Color</b>: Use this to choose a color for the table background, or leave it
|
||||
as transparent. If you want to use an image file as the table's background,
|
||||
check the box at Image and then enter the filename and location.
|

<li>Click Apply to preview your changes without closing the dialog box, or click OK to confirm them.
|

<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Selection</b>: Choose Cell, Row, or Column from the pop-up menu. Click Previous or Next to move through rows, columns, or cells.
|
||||
<li><b>Size</b>: Type a number and then choose "% of table" or "pixels." Type a number at "Span" to specify the number of rows or columns the selected cell overlaps.
|
||||
<li><b>Content Alignment</b>: Choose a horizontal or vertical alignment type (top, left, or center) for the text or data inside each cell.
|
||||
<li><b>Cell Style</b>: Choose Header from the pop-up menu to center and bold the text in the cell; otherwise choose Normal.
|
||||
<li><b>Text Wrap</b>: Choose "Don't wrap" from the pop-up menu to keep text from wrapping to the next line unless you insert a paragraph break. Otherwise, choose Wrap.
|
||||
<li><b>Background Color</b>: Choose a color for the cell background or leave it as transparent.
|

<h2>Adding and Deleting Rows, Columns, and Cells</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Composer allows you to quickly add or delete one or more cells to your table.
|
||||
In addition, you can set options that allow you to maintain the original rectangular structure or layout of the table while you perform editing tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To add a cell or group of cells (rows and columns) to your table:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Click inside the table where you want to add a cell (or cells).</li>
|
||||
<li>Open the Table menu and then choose Insert.
|
||||
<li>Choose one of the cell groupings. You can also insert a new table within a table cell.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To delete a cell or group of cells:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Click a row, column, or cell.</li>
|
||||
<li>Open the Table menu and choose Delete.
|
||||
<li>Choose the item you want to delete.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To join (or merge) a cell with the cell on its right:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Click inside the cell, open the table menu, and choose Join with Cell to the Right.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To split a joined cell back into two cells:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Click inside the cell, open the Table menu, and then choose Split Cell.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Correcting the Table Layout</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Generally, when you delete one or more cells, Composer removes the cell border as well. This can result in a table with empty spaces, or whose outline appears irregular due to an uneven number of cells. You may want to delete one or more cells but still maintain the table's original rectangular layout, or structure.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Composer allows you to set a preference for preserving the table's structure by adding cells at the end of a row, wherever needed:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu, choose Preferences and then choose Composer.
|
||||
Set the preferences you want in the Table Editing section.
|
||||
You can choose to allow the Delete key to remove an entire cell or just remove the cell's contents.

|
||||
<p>Once you've inserted an image into your page, you can edit its properties and customize the layout in your page, such as the height, width, spacing, and text alignment:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To edit the properties for a selected image:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Double-click the image, or select it and click the Image button <img src="images/image.gif" width=16 height=16 alt="" border="0"> on the toolbar.
|
||||
You see the Image Properties dialog box; click More Properties to expand the list of settings. To collapse the list of properties, click Fewer Properties.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Image URL</b>: Type the filename and location of the image file. Click
|
||||
Choose File to search for an image file on your hard drive or network.
|
||||
<li><b>Alternate Text</b>: Enter text that will display in place of the
|
||||
original image; for example, a caption or a brief description of the
|
||||
image. It's a good practice to specify alternate text for readers who
|
||||
use text-only web browsers or who have graphics turned off. Otherwise,
|
||||
your readers might see placeholder images.
|
||||
<li><b>Dimensions</b>: Click Custom Size, then specify the new height and width, in pixels.
|
||||
This setting doesn't affect the original image file, just the image inserted in your page.
|
||||
Click Original Size
|
||||
to undo any changes you've made to the dimensions.
|
||||
<li><b>Constrain</b>: If you change the image size, it's a good idea to check
|
||||
this in order to maintain the image's aspect ratio (so that it doesn't
|
||||
appear distorted).
|
||||
<li><b>Align Text to Image</b>: If you've placed your image next to any text,
|
||||
select an alignment icon to indicate how you want text positioned relative
|
||||
to the image. <b>Tip</b>: To see the effects of alignment changes you've made,
|
||||
it's a good idea to view your page in a browser window.
|
||||
<li><b>Spacing</b>: Specify the amount of space surrounding the image; between the image and adjoining test.
|
||||
You can also put a solid black border around the image and specify
|
||||
its width in pixels. Specify zero for no border.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>To create hotspots in your image that contain hyperlinks, click Edit Image Map to use Composer's <a href="#IMAGE_MAP_EDITOR">Image Map Editor</a>.
|
||||
<li><b>Note</b>: To apply additional attributes or JavaScript events, click Advanced Edit to display the <a href="#PROPERTY_EDITOR">Advanced Property Editor</a>.
|

|

<h2>Creating Image Maps (Hotspots) for Your Images</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Using Composer's Image Map Editor you can create a <i>hotspots</i> to map areas of an image.
|
||||
A map file indicates the image's hotspots--coordinates of the various areas of the image that you can assign to URLs.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Image Map Editor works like a drawing tool--the selected image is displayed in a window area, with shape tool buttons located on the toolbar at the left side of the window.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To use the Image Map Editor:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Select the image in your page.
|
||||
<li>Click the Image button <img src="images/image.gif" width=16 height=16 alt="" border="0"> in the toolbar to display the Image Properties dialog box, then click the Edit button in the Image Map section. (If necessary, first click More Properties to expand the dialog box.)
|
||||
<li>Use the shape tools to select portions of the image that you can then designate as hotspots that contain URLs or named anchors. First click the tool button, then click and drag inside the image to define the selection.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Rectangle: Use this tool to define a rectangular selection.
|
||||
<li>Circle: Use this tool to define a circular or oval selection.
|
||||
<li>Polygon: Use this tool to define a geometric selection.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
Once you've defined an area, you see the Hotspot Properties dialog box, where you can enter either a URL or the name of an anchor (target) as the destination (jump-to location) of the link.
|
||||
<li>When you've finished designating hotspots, click OK, and then click OK again to confirm your changes.
|
||||
<li>To test the links in your image, save the page, and then click Browse to see the page in the Navigator browser.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To remove the image map from an image:
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Select the image you want.
|
||||
<li>Open the Image Properties dialog box, and then click Remove Image Map. (If necessary, first click More Properties to expand the dialog box.)
|
||||
<li>Click OK to confirm your changes.

<h2>Creating Links Within the Same Page</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To create a link within the same page, for example a link that the reader can use to jump from one section to another, you must create an <i>anchor</i>, and then create a link that points to the anchor. Anchors are also called <i>named anchors</i> or <i>targets</i>.
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Place the pointer at the beginning of a line where you want to create an anchor, or select some text.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click the Anchor button <img src="images/anchor.gif" width=16 height=16 alt="" border="0"> on the toolbar, or open the Insert menu and choose Named Anchor.</li>
|
||||
<li>Type a name for the anchor in the dialog box (up to 30 characters). Don't include spaces. If you need to, use an underscore "_" to separate words. <br>If you selected some text in step #1, this box already contains a name.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click OK. <br>An anchor icon appears in your document to mark the anchor's location: <img src="images/anchor-in-doc.gif" width=12 height=12 alt="" border="0"></li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To create the link that the reader can click to jump to the anchor:
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Select the text or image that you want to link to the anchor.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click the Link button or open the Insert menu and choose Link.</li>
|
||||
<li>To see a list of all named anchors and headings in the page, click More Properties.
|
||||
<li>Use the Link Properties dialog box to choose the appropriate anchor name.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Select a named anchor</b>: Use if you're creating a link to a named anchor (target), select from a list of the anchors currently available in the page.
|
||||
<li><b>Select a Heading</b>: Use if you're creating a link to a level heading
|
||||
(for example, Heading 1 - Heading 6), select from a list of headings currently available in the page.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>Click OK.
|
||||
<li>To test the link you just created, open the File menu and choose Browse Page, then click the link.</li>

<h2>Creating Links to Other Pages</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can create links from your page to local pages on your own computer or on your workplace's network, or to remote pages on the Internet.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can quickly create a link by dragging and dropping it from other windows. For example, you can highlight a link from a web page, bookmark, or mail and news window and drag and drop it onto your page.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<a name="PROPERTIES_LINK"></a>
|
||||
<p>You can also use the Link Properties dialog box to create a link to another page:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Select the text or image that you want to link to the anchor.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click the Link button.</li>
|
||||
<li>To see a list of all named anchors and headings in the page, click More Properties.
|
||||
<li>Use the Link Properties dialog box to define your link.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Link text</b>: Type the text you want to use as the link to another page or anchor. If you've already selected an image file or text, you see it here.
|
||||
<li><b>Link to</b>: Type the local path and filename or remote URL of the page you want to link to.
|
||||
If you're not sure of the path and filename or a local file, click Choose File to look for it on your hard disk or network.
|
||||
For remote URLs, you can copy the URL from the browser location field.

<h2>Using Images as Links</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can make images, pictures, and graphic files, such as JPEG or GIF files, behave like links in your pages. When the reader clicks a linked image, the browser window displays the page that the image is linked to.</p>
|

|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Select an image on your page.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click the Link button <img src="images/link.gif" width=16 height=16 alt="" border="0"> on the toolbar, or open the Insert menu and choose Link.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the Link Properties dialog box to link the image to a <a href="#PROPERTIES_TARGET">named anchor or heading within the page</a>, or to a <a href="#creating_links">
|
||||
separate local or remote page</a>.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|

<li><b>Maximum number of pages listed</b>: Specify the number of pages that appear under Recent Pages in the File menu.
|

|

<li><b>Maintain source formatting</b>: Select this if you don't want Composer to remove white space (extra lines, tabs, etc.) that makes the HTML code more readable. This preference does not affect how your pages appear in a browser window.
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>Maintain table layout when inserting or deleting cells</b>: When you delete one or more cells, Composer removes the cell border as well, which can result in a table with empty spaces, or an outline that appears irregular due to an uneven number of cells. Check this if you want Composer to always preserve the table's layout (that is, keep it in a rectangular shape) by adding cells where needed.
|

|

<li><b>Delete key</b>: Choose the action you want the Delete key to take on selected cells in tables.

<h2>What is My Sidebar?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>My Sidebar is a customizable frame in your browser where you can keep items that you need to use all the time---the latest news and weather, your address book or buddy list, stock quotes, a calendar---and many other options you can choose. My Sidebar presents these items to you in tabs that are continually updated.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Netscape 6 comes with some My Sidebar tabs already set up, but you can customize My Sidebar by adding, removing, and rearranging tabs.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Click a tab's title; for instance, click the words "What's Related." The What's Related tab opens, showing you a list of web pages related to the page you are currently viewing.

<h2>Changing the Default Fonts</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Normally, web pages are displayed in the default font set by your browser, or in a font chosen by the web pages' authors.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To change the default fonts:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|
||||
<li>Under the Appearance category, choose Fonts. (If no options are visible in this category, click to expand the list.)
|
||||
<li>From the "Language Encoding" pop-up menu, choose a character set. For instance, to set default fonts for the Western (roman) character set, choose "Western."
|
||||
<li>Select a variable width font and size. Most text is displayed in a variable width font. You can select both a serif font (like Times Roman) and a sans-serif font (like Ariel).
|
||||
<li>Specify whether the default font should be serif or sans serif.
|
||||
<li>Select a fixed width font and size. Certain types of text, such as equations and formulas, are displayed in a fixed width font.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Many web page authors choose their own fonts and font sizes. You can override the authors' intentions by selecting "Always use my font settings, overriding what web pages specify."
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To adjust the readability of fonts, type a number for your preferred resolution in the field next to "Font display resolution." 96 dpi (dots per inch) is the standard resolution, but you may want to choose a larger value.

<p>Normally, the background and text colors on web pages are determined by the default colors set by your browser, or by the pages' authors.</p>
|

<p>To change the default colors:</p>
|
||||
|

<ol>

<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|

<li>Under the Appearance category, choose Colors.
|

<li>Click the colored blocks next to "Text," "Background," "Unvisited Links," and "Visited Links." Choose a color for each from the color chart. You can also specify that links should be underlined.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Most web page authors choose their own colors. You can override the authors' intentions by selecting "Use my chosen colors, ignoring the colors specified."</p>

<h2>What Are Bookmarks?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Bookmarks are shortcuts to your favorite and most-visited web pages. Rather than typing in long URLs (web addresses), you can create bookmarks that take you directly to the pages you want to see.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You access your bookmarks through the bookmarks menu. You can control what's listed in the bookmarks menu, by adding bookmarks for your favorite web pages and organizing your list of bookmarks any way you want.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="cust_bkmk_create"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Using Bookmarks</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Netscape 6 comes with some bookmarks already available. To use a bookmark:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu.
|
||||
<li>Choose a bookmark from the list. Most of the bookmards are in folders such as "Business and Finance," "What's New and Cool," and so forth.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||

|

<h2>Creating New Bookmarks</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can bookmark your favorite web sites to make it easy to return to them.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To bookmark the current page:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Add Current Page.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To see the bookmark you just created:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu. A bookmark for the current page has been added to the list at the bottom.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||

<h2>Organizing Your Bookmarks</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To organize your bookmarks, open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks. Then do any of the following tasks in the Manage Bookmarks window.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To view bookmarks inside of folders:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Click the open/close triangles at the left of each folder to view its contents.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To move a bookmark or a folder to another location in the list:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Click to highlight the bookmark or folder that you want to move, and drag the item to the new location. To put a bookmark in a folder, drag it to the folder.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To create a new folder or separator:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>In the Manage Bookmarks window, open the File menu and choose New; then choose New Folder or New Separator.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To remove a bookmark or a folder from the list:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Click to highlight the bookmark or folder that you want to remove.
|
||||
<li>Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Handling New Bookmarks and Bookmarked Search Results.</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you create a new bookmark, Netscape 6 normally adds it to the bottom of your bookmarks list. If you prefer to file your bookmarks in a folder, you can designate a new bookmarks folder.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.
|
||||
<li>In the Manage Bookmarks window, select a folder to hold new bookmarks.
|
||||
<li>Open the View menu and choose Set as New Bookmark Folder.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you use the My Sidebar Search tab to locate web pages, you can save your search results by clicking the Bookmark Search Results button in the Search tab. Saved search results are placed in their own folder at the bottom of the bookmarks list. For instance, if you searched for "parrots," and then clicked Bookmark Search Results, a folder named "Search: parrots" would be added to your bookmarks list. Each time you save search results, a new folder is added.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you prefer to file all your saved search results in a single folder, you can designate an Internet search folder.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.
|
||||
<li>In the Manage Bookmarks window, select a folder to hold search results.
|
||||
<li>Open the View menu and choose Set as New Internet Search Folder.
|
||||

<h2>Changing Individual Bookmarks</h2>

|
||||
<p>You can change the information for any individual bookmark.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>

||||
</ol>
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can also set Netscape 6 to check bookmarked web sites for changes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.</li>
|
||||
<li>In the Manage Bookmarks window, click a bookmark.</li>

<h2>Exporting or Importing a Bookmark List (Advanced Feature)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Your bookmarks are stored in a file named bookmarks.html. You can export a copy of this file and save it in a folder of your choosing. You can then edit it and treat it as you would any HTML file.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.
|
||||
<li>In the Manage Bookmarks window, open the File menu and choose Export Bookmarks.
|
||||
<li>In the Export Bookmark File window, choose a folder. Your bookmarks.html file will be copied into the folder you designate.
|
||||
<li>Click Save.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Your Netscape 6 bookmarks are not altered by this procedure.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can also import bookmarks files from other sources, such as friends, earlier Netscape versions, or other browsers.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Before you start, make sure that the bookmark file you want to import is an HTML file.
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.
|
||||
<li>In the Manage Bookmarks window, open the File menu and choose Import Bookmarks.
|
||||
<li>In the Import Bookmark File window, locate and select the bookmark file you want to import.
|
||||
<li>Click Save.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The imported bookmark file is treated as new bookmarks, and added to the bottom of your bookmarks list. If you have designated a new bookmark folder, the imported bookmark file is added to that folder.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can use any bookmarks file as your <b>default</b> Netscape 6 bookmarks, as long as it is an HTML file and is named "bookmarks.html."
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Before you begin, close all Netscape 6 windows and exit from Netscape 6.
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Go to the directory that contains Netscape 6 on your computer, and find the Users subdirectory.
|
||||
<li>In the Users subdirectory, open the directory for your current profile.
|
||||
<li>In the directory for your profile, find the current bookmarks.html file and rename it. (For instance, rename it "bookmarks.old.")
|
||||
<li>Put the new bookmarks.html file in the directory containing your profile. This replaces the file you just renamed.
|
||||
<li>Restart Netscape 6. Your new bookmarks file will be used as the default bookmarks.

<h2>About the Pre-Selected Bookmarks</h2>
|

|

<p>Netscape 6 comes with a number of bookmarks already available for you to use, organized into folders such as "business," "travel," and so forth. These bookmarks take you to some of the Web's best sites and services.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The task bar along the bottom of the Netscape 6 window also contains bookmarks, arranged in a set of pop-up menus. These bookmarks take you to Netscape's web site, Netcenter, where you find services such as an address book and calendar, news, information about the latest software, and more.</p>

<h2>What Is Instant Messenger?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Netscape Instant Messenger is an easy way to communicate instantly with
|
||||
your friends who are online. You can:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Send instant messages to an online buddy. These messages are different
|
||||
from email, because if your buddy has Instant Messenger open on his or
|
||||
her machine, your message will appear immediately on your buddy's screen.</li>
|
||||
<li>Create a "buddy list" of online friends who you want to receive your instant
|
||||
messages. Instant Messenger helps you locate your buddies so you can add
|
||||
them to your list.</li>
|
||||
<li>Control who communicates with you through the buddy controls feature.</li>
|
||||
<li>Chat with groups of friends and family members in your own private chat room.</li>
|
||||
<li>Control who communicates with you through the buddy privacy feature.</li>
|
||||
<li>Find your buddies by email address.</li>
|
||||
<li>Warn users who send you offensive or annoying messages.</li>
|
||||
</ul>

<p><a NAME="im_setup"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Setting Up</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To get started quickly, use the Instant Messenger Setup screens.
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
If the Netscape Instant Messenger Buddy List isn't already on your screen,
|
||||
open the Tasks menu and choose Instant Messenger, or click the Buddy List tab on My Sidebar.</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Click Setup.</li>
|
||||
<li>

<a NAME="im_regist"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Registering New Screen Names</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you set up Instant Messenger for the first time using the Instant Messenger Setup screens, you register and select a screen name and password. In subsequent Instant Messenger sessions, you can register multiple screen names to use with the Netscape Instant Messenger service.

||||
<p>To register and select a new screen name and password:
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Go to the Netscape Instant Messenger home page, <a href="http://aim.aol.com/aimnew/Aim/register.adp" target="alfie11">
|
||||
http://aim.aol.com/aimnew/Aim/register.adp.</a> The Instant Messenger web page appears on your screen, allowing you to register.</li>
|
||||
<li>Type your screen name, password (twice for confirmation), and email address in the appropriate fields.</li>
|
||||
<li>After you have completed the registration process, use your new screen name and password in the sign-on screen.</li>
|
||||
</ol>

<a NAME="im_signon"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Signing On to Netscape Instant Messenger</h2>
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p>To start and sign on to Netscape Instant Messenger:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Display the Netscape Instant Messenger Sign On screen to start the program. You can display the screen in three different ways: </li>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Open the Tasks menu and choose Instant Messenger. Or: </li>
|
||||

||||
Click the Instant Messenger icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the Netscape 6 window. Or: </li>
|
||||
<li>

|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
<li>Click Sign On, or press Enter. </li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><i>Tip:</i> If you want Netscape Instant Messenger to start when you start Netscape 6, select "Sign on at launch" on the sign-on screen.

<h2>Using Multiple Screen Names</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you have registered multiple screen names, you can sign on with the name of your choice. To sign on with a new screen name that you have registered:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Display the Sign On screen.</li>
|
||||
<li>Select the current screen name that is displayed in the Screen Name field, and type your new screen name over that.</li>

<a NAME="im_prefs"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Setting Preferences</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can set preferences for Instant Messenger to meet your particular needs.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you have previously used AOL Instant Messenger, and you have installed Netscape 6 on your machine, you will have to select your preferences again. Preferences, unlike Buddy Lists, do not transfer automatically from AOL Instant Messenger to Netscape 6.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can set preferences for such things as:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Displaying graphical smiles in messages</li>
|
||||
<li>Indicating your online status in Netscape Mail</li>
|
||||
<li>Specifying who can contact you</li>
|
||||
<li>Turning on sounds to play when a you receive a message or a buddy signs on</li>
|
||||
<li>Editing your Away messages</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You set your preferences using the Instant Messenger Preferences panels. To access the panels:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu, choose Preferences, and then select one of the Instant Messenger categories. You may need to click the widget (triangle) next to the words Instant Messenger to see all of the categories. Or:</li>
|
||||
<li>Click the Preferences button in the toolbar of the standalone Instant Messenger window.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="im_connect"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Specifying Connection Settings</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you access the Internet through an Internet Service Provider, you most likely will not need to make any changes to the Connection preferences panel. If you access the Internet through a local area network firewall (for example, at your workplace), then your network administrator may need to configure the proxy section of the Connection preferences panel.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Here are descriptions of the items in the Connection panel:
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Server Host</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This field contains the default Internet address of the Netscape Instant Messenger server. Under normal circumstances, you do not need to change this field. If your proxy server needs to resolve the host name, you may need to put the IP address instead of the name of the server in this field.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Server Port</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This field contains the default server port number to be used on the Netscape Instant Messenger server. Under normal circumstances, you do not need to change this field.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Connect using proxy</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you click this button, the Netscape Instant Messenger software activates the proxy server controls.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Proxy Server Host</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Supply the name of the proxy server.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Proxy Server Port</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Supply the port number to be used on the proxy server.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Protocol</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Specify whether your proxy server uses the SOCKS 4, SOCKS 5, or HTTPS protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Authentication Username</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Supply the authentication username required by the proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Authentication Password</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Supply the authentication password required by the proxy.

<h2>About the Buddy List</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you sign on to Instant Messenger, your Buddy List appears. Three groups are automatically created for you in your Buddy List window: Buddies, Family, and Co-Workers. Add your buddies to any of these groups or create additional groups.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are two tabs in your Buddy List: List Setup and Online.
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>List Setup lets you add buddies to the list and create groups for them. For example, you can create groups for specific interests such as Golf Pals, College Roommates, Neighbors, and so forth, then add your buddies to them. The List Setup tab also lets you delete buddies and groups.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the List Setup tab:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Each group appears as a folder.</li>
|
||||
<li>The buddies in each group appear as branches from the folder. You must expand the group to see buddies in that group. To expand the group, click the triangle next to the folder so that the triangle points downward. Or, select the name of the group and press Enter.</li>
|
||||
<li>You cannot see which of your buddies is online when you display the List Setup tab. Click the Online tab to see which buddies are online.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<li>Online shows you when your buddies are available.
|
||||
Whenever your buddies sign on, you can see them in your Buddy List and
|
||||
send them messages instantly.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the Online tab:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Groups in the Buddy List window are initially shown expanded, displaying all your buddies in each group. You can switch the display mode between expanded and collapsed by clicking the small triangle to the left of each group name; or, select (highlight) the group name and press Enter.</li>
|
||||
<li>Each group has a number in parentheses to the right of the group name to indicate how many people in the group are online out of the total number of buddies in the group. For example, (3/9) means that three of the nine buddies in the group are currently online.</li>
|
||||
<li>Buddy names in bold indicate the buddies who signed on most recently. Buddy names in gray and italic indicate the buddies who just signed off. </li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p><i>Tip:</i> Buddy lists are stored on a server rather than on your computer. That means you can access your buddy lists from anywhere, whenever you sign on to the Netscape Instant Messenger service.

<h2>Adding and Finding Buddies</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you know a friend's screen name, you can add him or her to your Buddy
|
||||
List immediately.

<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||

||||
Click the Add Buddy icon. You see the Add Buddy dialog box.</li>
|
||||

|
||||
rather than johndoe@aol.com.</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Select the group to which you want to add the screen name.</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Click OK.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you don't know a friend's screen name, Instant Messenger can help you
|
||||
locate your friend using his or her email address.
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
>From the People menu, select Find A Buddy.</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Type your buddy's email address in the "Friend's email address" field and click Next. Netscape Instant Messenger displays all screen names for the email address you specified.</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Select the screen name you want to add to your list and click Add Buddy.</li>
|
||||
<li>In the Add Buddy dialog box, select the group to which you want to add the buddy, and click OK. Or, click Send IM to send a message to your buddy instantly.
|
||||
<li>Click Finish when you are done.

<h2>Using the My Sidebar Buddy List</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you use the My Sidebar feature of Netscape 6, then you may find it convenient
|
||||
to include your buddy list in a My Sidebar tab.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If it is not already open, open My Sidebar by clicking on its handle.
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote><img SRC="images/image6.gif"></blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><br>The My Sidebar Buddy List may be closed, so that only its header is
|
||||
showing. To open it, click the tab on which the words Buddy List appear.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<blockquote><img SRC="images/image7.gif"></blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The My Sidebar Buddy List lets you know when one of your buddies is
|
||||
online and available for a chat, even if Netscape Instant Messenger is
|
||||
not open.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If your buddy is online, his or her name appears in your buddy
|
||||
list. If your buddy is idle, his or her name is dimmed and a small clock
|
||||
icon appears next to the name. <img SRC="images/image8.gif" height=22 width=18 align=TEXTTOP>

<h1>Warnings</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If someone else using the Netscape Instant Messenger service sends you annoying or offensive messages, you have two ways to respond. You can issue a warning to the person or you can block the person.

<h2>Warning a User</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To warn a user who has sent you an offensive message, click Warn in the Instant Message window in which you received the message.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Warn imposes a warning on the sender, hampering that person's ability to send and receive messages. With frequent warnings, the user will not be able to exchange any messages with anyone. Only after a “cooling off” period can that user send and receive messages again.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you click Warn, you can choose to impose the warning anonymously. Anonymous warnings are less severe and the user you are warning won't know who issued the warning.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Regarding warnings you send and receive:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>You can issue only one warning for each message someone sends you.</li>
|
||||
<li>If a user warns you, consider ending the conversation. Every additional message you send enables that user to warn you again.</li>
|
||||

<h2>Viewing Someone's Warning Level</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can see someone’s warning level next to the person's screen name in your Buddy List window.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Alternatively, you can permanently block one or more people from sending you messages. See <a href="#im_blockuser">"Blocking a User"</a> for more information.

<h1>Privacy on the Internet</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Internet is a public network of millions of computers, all sharing information. On the Internet, communications move back and forth across public lines and through numerous connections. As with all public lines, eavesdropping is possible.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Fortunately, your browser contains features that safeguard security. There are also several things you personally can do to safeguard your privacy and security while on the Internet. Click one of the links below to learn more.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In addition to the information in this document, you can always find the latest news about security at Netscape's <a href="http://home.netscape.com/security/index.html" target="_blank">Security Center</a>. For more information about privacy and security, including information about viruses, secure email, safe online shopping and banking, and safe surfing for children, see

<h2>How Does a Web Site Gather Information About Me?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are two ways that a site can obtain information about you:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>When you request to view a page from a site, a certain amount of information is disclosed in the page request that your browser makes on your behalf.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<li>If you fill out and submit an online form, the information you filled in is sent to the site.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are two ways for sites to store information about you:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>While your browser is getting a page from a web site, the site could ask your browser to store a small amount of information about you on your own hard disk. This stored information is called a "cookie." A site that stores (or "sets") a cookie will ask your browser to let it read the cookie the next time you visit.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<li>Any information you give a web site (by filling out an online form) could be stored on the web site's computers.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A web page <b>can't</b> find out your e-mail address, name, or any
|
||||
other personal information unless you explicity provide it.
|
||||
You are in control---nobody can obtain personal information about
|
||||
you unless you allow it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="privacy_visit"></a>
|
||||
<h2>What Information Does My Browser Give to a Web Site?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you request to view a web page from a site---which you do each time you click a link or type a URL---a small amount of information is given to the site. This information includes your operating environment, your Internet address (<i>not</i> your email address), and the page you're coming from.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Operating Environment</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The site is told something about your operating environment, such as
|
||||
your browser type and operating system. This helps the site present the page
|
||||
in the best way for your screen. For example, the site might learn that you
|
||||
use the French version of a mozilla-based browser on a Windows 2000 computer.
|
||||
|
||||
<a name="ip"></a>
|
||||
<p><b>Internet Address</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Your browser must tell the site your Internet address (also known as the Internet Protocol, or IP address) so the site knows where to send the page you are requesting. The site can't present the page you want to see unless it knows your IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Your IP address can be either temporary or fixed (static).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you connect to the Internet through a standard modem that's attached to your phone line, then your Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns you a temporary IP address each time you log on. You use the temporary IP address for the duration of your Internet session. Each ISP has many IP addresses, and they assign the addresses at random to users. A web site can tell which ISP a temporary IP address comes from, but it can't learn anything about you personally from your temporary IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Important:</b> Your IP address is <b>not</b> your email address. Your email address uniquely identifies you in cyberspace just as your social security number identifies you in the real world. A temporary IP address is no more a part of your identity than the phone number
|
||||
of a pay telephone you use to make a call.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you have DSL, a cable modem, or a fiber-optic connection, you may have a fixed IP address that you use every time you connect.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Whether your IP address is temporary or fixed, you might not want that information
|
||||
to be given to a site you intend to visit. To block your IP address from being given out, see <a href="#privacy_anon">Browsing Anonymously</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Referring Page</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The site is also told which page you were reading when you clicked the
|
||||
link to the page you are now requesting. This allows the site to know which
|
||||
site referred you. Or, as you traverse the site, it allows the site to know
|
||||
which of its pages you came from.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="privacy_cookies"></a>
|
||||
<h2>What Are Cookies, and How Do They Work?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A cookie is a small bit of information used by some web sites. When you visit the site that uses cookies, the site might ask your browser to place one or more cookies on your hard disk.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Later, when you return to the site, your browser sends back the cookies that belong to the site.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>By default, this activity is invisible to you, and you won't know when a site is setting a cookie or when your browser is sending a web site's cookie back. However, you can set your preferences so that you will be asked before a cookie is set.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Why Permit Cookies?</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are times when it would be to your advantage to allow
|
||||
a site to know something about your previous visits.
|
||||
For example, if you were previously filling out a long form and got as
|
||||
far as page 17, it would be nice if the site could take you immediately
|
||||
to page 17 on your next visit.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Why Reject Cookies?</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If a site can store a cookie, it can keep track of everything you've done
|
||||
while visiting the site by writing these things into a cookie that it keeps
|
||||
updating. In this way, a site can build a profile on you.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what the site
|
||||
does with the information. For example, it might be good if
|
||||
a bookseller knew you frequently looked for information on dogs so
|
||||
it could tell you about a new dog book. It might be bad if the bookseller then
|
||||
sold that information to the local dog pound so they could cross-check
|
||||
for potential dog owners who do not have valid dog licenses.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>How Do Sites Use Cookie Information?</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Web sites can use cookie information to tailor their presentations to you, and advertisers can use such information to target online ads to your interests and buying information. Reputable web sites have prvacy policies that describe how they use the information they receive.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When in doubt, always check a web site's privacy policy before permitting a cookie to be set, and before providing any personal information (such as your name and email address).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<a name="privacy_foreign"></a>
|
||||
<h3>Encountering Foreign Cookies</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If your browser stores a site's cookie, it will return the cookie only to that particular site. Your browser will not provide one site with cookies set by another. Since a web site can only receive back its own cookies, it can keep track of your activities while you are at that site but not your activities in general while surfing the Web.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But suppose that while you visit site ABC.com, a cookie gets
|
||||
stored not by ABC.com but by a different site called XYZ.com.
|
||||
ABC.com can cause that to happen very simply by displaying an image from
|
||||
XYZ.com. So when you visit ABC.com your browser makes a side-trip to
|
||||
XYZ.com to get the image, and XYZ.com stores the cookie at that time.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If XYZ.com enlists many sites to display its cookie-storing image,
|
||||
it can build up a cookie that contains information about your behavior at
|
||||
all those sites. The more sites that display XYZ.com's image,
|
||||
the more encompassing a profile it can build on you.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Such cookies that are stored by the site other than the one that you
|
||||
think you are visiting are called <i>foreign cookies</i>. If you
|
||||
are concerned about foreign cookies but not about ordinary cookies,
|
||||
you could give permission for sites to store ordinary cookies only but
|
||||
not foreign ones.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You use Cookie Manager to specify what types of cookies
|
||||
you want your browser to accept.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

||||
<a NAME="privacy_unauth"></a>
|
||||
<h2>How Do I Make Sure Unauthorized People Don't Use Information About Me?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The best way to keep your information private is to be cautious about providing it to others. The Internet is a public network, and you should assume that when someone asks you for your name, phone number, address, and other information, they may share that information with others.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Providing your name, address, and phone number on the web is like having a listing in the telephone book. In fact, if you are listed in the white pages of the telephone book, your name, address, and phone number are probably listed in online directories and other databases on the World Wide Web. (Try looking yourself up in a directory such as People Finder or Yellow Pages.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If a web site asks for information about you, always check the site's privacy policy before proceeding. Here are some questions you might ask about a web site's privacy policy:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>What kinds of personal information is this site gathering?
|
||||
<li>How will the site use the information?
|
||||
<li>Will the site share the information with others, for purposes unrelated to my dealing with the site?
|
||||
<li>Can I access some or all of the information a site gathers about me, in order to inspect or update it?
|
||||
<li>How does the site keep intruders from viewing the information?
|
||||
<li>How do I contact the web site if I have questions or problems?
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="privacy_anon"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Browsing Anonymously</h2>
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you request to see a page from a site, your browser must tell the site your <a href="#ip">Internet address</a> (IP address) so the site knows where to send the page. Your IP address can be either temporary or fixed (static).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Whether your IP address is temporary or fixed, you might not want that information to be given to a site you intend to visit. But if your browser doesn't provide this information, the site won't know where to deliver the requested page. So this is the one piece of information that you can't ask
|
||||
your browser not to reveal.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you really want to hide your IP address from the site, you need to
|
||||
use some trusted intermediate site. You go to the intermediate site
|
||||
and tell it the name of the site whose page you want. The intermediate
|
||||
site requests the page on your behalf, using its own IP address as the
|
||||
return address. Then, when it gets the page, it forwards it on to
|
||||
you. The site that supplied the page never gets to see your IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are several sites that provide such services. Use your favorite
|
||||
search engine to find them---try search words such as "anonymous" and
|
||||
"surfing".

<h1>Personal Security Manager</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Personal Security Manager helps you protect the security of your communications over the Internet. Personal Security Manager can check the security settings of web sites you visit and help assure security in several ways.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Personal Security Manager has its own extensive online Help, including general information about maintaining security on the Internet, and definitions of security-related terminology.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To access Personal Security Manager and view its Help, open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy and Security, and then choose Security Manager. Personal Security Manager also appears when you click a lock icon in the browser window.</p>

<h1>Cookie Manager</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A cookie is a small amount of information used by some web sites. A web site that sets cookies will ask your browser to place one or more cookies on your hard disk when you visit the site. Later, when you return to the site, your browser sends back the cookies that belong to the site.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Before loading a web page that uses cookies, your browser handles the page's cookies by doing two things:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Accepts or rejects any requests by the web site to <b>set</b> (store) one or more cookies on your computer.
|
||||
<li>Accepts or rejects any requests by the web site to <b>read</b> cookies it previously stored on your computer. A web site can't actually read cookies or any other data on your computer---instead, your browser gets the cookies and sends them back to the web site.

<h2>Specifying How Your Browser Should Handle Cookies</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Your browser lets you specify how cookies should be handled, by setting your cookie preferences and by using the Cookie Manager.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|
||||
<li>Under the Advanced category, choose Cookies. (If not options are visible in this category, click to expand the list.)
|
||||
<li>Click one of the radio buttons:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Enable all cookies:</b> Choose this to permit all web sites to set cookies on your computer and receive them back during subsequent visits. <b>Note:</b> If you choose this option, and later choose to reject all cookies, you may still have some older cookies stored on your computer (though no new ones will be set).
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>Enable cookies for the originating web site only:</b> <a href="#privacy_foreign">Foreign cookies</a> are not accepted or returned. Cookies received through email (when the message contains a web page) are treated as foreign cookies.
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>Disable all cookies:</b> Choose this to refuse all cookies.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>If you want to be notified when a web site tries to set a cookie, select "Warn me before accepting a cookie."
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="cookies_site"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Mananging Cookies Site-By-Site</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you select "Warn me before accepting a cookie" in the Cookie Preferences (see Step 4 above), Cookie Manager lets you control cookies on a site-by-site basis.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you are warned that a web site is requesting to set a cookie, you can click Yes to allow or No to deny the cookie. You can also select the option for your browser to "Remember this decision."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you select "Remember this decision," you will not be warned the next time that site tries to set or modify a cookie, and your "yes" or "no" response will still be in effect.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you wish to change a remembered response later, use Cookie Manager as follows:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy and Security, and then choose Cookie Manager.</li>
|
||||
<li>Click the Cookies Site tab.</li>
|
||||
<li>The web sites for which you have allowed or denied cookies are listed. Removing a site from the list resets its status, so the next time you visit that site you will be warned if the site attempts to set a cookie.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Another way to control cookies site-by-site is to use the Allow and Block menu options.</p>
|
||||
|

<h1>Password Manager</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Many web sites require you to type a user name and password before you can enter the site. For instance, personalized pages and web sites containing your financial information require you to log in.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The user name and password you use at a particular site can be read by the site's administrator. If this concerns you, you may wish to use a different password at every site with which you register. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to remember every single password you've ever used.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Password Manager can help you by storing your user names and passwords on your computer's hard disk, and entering them for you automatically when you visit such sites.</p>

<h2>Using Password Manager to Remember User Names and Passwords</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you enter your user name and password at a web site a dialog box appears asking, "Do you want Password Manager to remember this logon?" You can choose the following options:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Yes</b>. The next time you return to the web site you'll see that your user name and password are already filled in.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>No</b>. Password Manager won't remember the user name and password, but will ask again the next time you visit the site.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>Never for this site</b>. Password Manager will not ask in the future if you want to save your user name and password for that site.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Password Manager saves your user names and passwords on your own computer in a file that's difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read. See <a href="#sec_encrypt">Encrypting Stored Sensitive Information</a> for information on protecting your stored user names and passwords with encryption technology.

<h2>Entering User Names and Passwords Automatically</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you use Password Manager to remember your user name and password for a web site, then the next time you visit the site Password Manager will automatically fill in your user name and password on the site's log in screen.</p>
|

<p> </p>
|

<a NAME="passwords_onoff"></a>
|

<h2>Turning Password Manager On and Off</h2>
|
||||
|

<p>Password Manager is on by default. To turn it off:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|
||||
<li>From the Advanced category, choose Passwords. (If no options are visible in this category, click to expand the list.)

<h1>Form Manager</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Many web pages contain forms for you to fill out---order forms for online shopping, information databases, and so forth.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Form Manager can save the personal data you need to enter when you fill out a form, by storing such information as name, address, phone, credit card numbers, and so forth. Then, when a web site presents you with a form, Form Manager can fill it out automatically.</p>
|

|

<h2>Saving Information From Forms</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you fill out an online form, Form Manager normally detects the form and gives you an opportunity to save the personal data you entered into the form. Soon, Form Manager will have enough data to begin filling out forms automatically.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are two ways to save personal data:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Each time you submit an online form that you've filled out, Form Manager asks if you want the information saved. Click Yes. (Note: Form Manager prompts you only if its automatic notification feature is turned on.)
|
||||
|
||||
<li>After you fill out a form (but before you submit it), open the Edit menu and choose Save Form Data. You can use the Interview form for this purpose:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy and Security, and then choose Form Manager.
|
||||
<li>Select Interview from the submenu.
|
||||
<li>Fill out as many fields as you want.
|
||||
<li>When you're finished with the Interview form, open the Edit menu and choose Save Form Data.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Form Manager stores your personal data on your own computer in a file that's difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read. See <a href="#sec_encrypt">Encrypting Stored Sensitive Information</a> for information on protecting your information with encryption technology.
|
||||
|

|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="form_auto"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Filling Out Forms Automatically</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To fill out an online form automatically:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Go to the online form you want to fill out.
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Prefill Form.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="form_notify"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Form Manager's Automatic Notification Feature</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Form Manager is set to prompt you to save information whenever it detects that you have filled out an online form. If you don't want to see these prompts, do this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|
||||
<li>Under the Advanced category, choose Forms. (If no options are visible in this category, click to expand the list.)
|
||||
<li>In the Form Manager section, deselect "Save form data from web pages when completing forms."
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="form_forms"></a>
|
||||
<h2>What Happens If I Provide Personal Information to a Web Site?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you provide personal information such as your name, phone number, email address, and so forth, the web site is free to store that information in its database and use it later. A web site might use this information to improve its service to you or target advertising to your interests. A web site could sell the information it has gathered to other companies.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>One way to find out how a web site uses the information it gathers is to check its <a href="#privacy_unauth">privacy policy</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Before providing personal information on an online form, you must decide whether or not you trust the company---just as you judge whether or not you trust a catalog company before you provide your credit card number on the company's order form.

<h1>Encrypting Stored Sensitive Information</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you use Password Manager or Form Manager to save passwords and personal data, then this sensitive information is stored on your computer in a file that's difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you are not concerned about unauthorized use of your computer, you may not need further security. However, if your computer is in an area where unauthorized people have access to it, it's possible for a determined person to read the file containing your sensitive information.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For a greater degree of security, you may want to protect the file with encryption. Encryption makes it nearly impossible for an unauthorized person to view your stored sensitive information.</p>

<h2>Encrypting Stored Sensitive Information</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To choose encryption:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|
||||
<li>Under the Advanced category, choose Passwords.
|

<li>In the Encrypting versus Obscuring section, select "Use encryption when storing sensitive data." Remove the checkmark to turn encryption off.
|

<li>Click OK. A new dialog box appears and leads you through the process of choosing a Personal Security password.

</ol>
|

|

|

<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="encrypt_master"></a>
|
||||
<h2>Setting a Personal Security Password</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you choose encryption, you'll need a Personal Security Password. You can set your Personal Security Password by using the Personal Security Manager. With encryption selected, you'll be asked for your Personal Security Password at least once during a Netscape 6 session in which you access any of your stored sensitive information.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you choose encryption, but don't already have a Personal Security Password, you'll be prompted to create one the first time you try to save or retrieve your sensitive information.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|

<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="encrypt_change"></a>
|

<h2>Changing Your Personal Security Password</h2>
|

|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy and Security, and then choose Password Manager.</li>
|
||||
<li>Select Change Personal Security Password from the submenu. You see the Personal Security Manager.
|
||||
<li>Enter your current Personal Security Password and click OK.</li>
|
||||
<li>Enter your new Personal Security Password, and retype it to confirm the spelling.</li>

<p> </p>
|

<a NAME="encrypt_logout"></a>
|

<h2>Logging Out of Your Personal Security Password</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Normally, you are asked for your Personal Security Password once during each Netscape 6 session in which you access any of your stored sensitive information. However, you can log out of your Personal Security Password so that it must be entered again before any sensitive information can be stored or retreived. This is useful if you are going to leave your computer unattended for a period of time.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To log out of your Personal Security Password:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy and Security, and then choose Password Manager.
|
||||
<li>Select Log Out from the submenu.</li>

</ol>
|

|
||||

<p> </p>
|
||||
<a NAME="encrypt_forget"></a>
|
||||
<h2>What to Do If You Forget Your Personal Security Password</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you forget your Personal Security Password, you may have to reset it. In this case, you will need to clear all the sensitive information stored by Password Manager and Form Manager, because without your original Personal Security Password you will not be permitted to use the information.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To reset your Personal Security password:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy and Security, and then choose Security Manager.
|
||||
<li>The Personal Security Manager window appears. Click the Help button to read about what to do when you forget your Personal Security Password.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To clear all stored passwords and other sensitive information:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy and Security, and then choose Password Manager.
|
||||
<li>Select Clear Sensitive Information from the submenu.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>After you clear the saved personal information, you must remember all the user names and passwords Password Manager had stored for you, so you can enter them when you visit the web sites that require them.</p>
