WWW Help



Integrated WWW Support is a major feature in Internet Adventurer.

You can either use the built-in WebExplorer-based browser, or interface to Netscape.

Using the built-in browser
Internet Adventurer comes with a fully integrated built-in browser, which uses the IBM WebExplorer (HTML 2.0) engine to display HTML. All the GUI around the HTML part has nothing to do with WebExplorer, only the HTML itself has.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to using the built-in browser, the main advantage is that it is faster, and behaves a lot better on 256 color displays, but the disadvantage is that it only supports HTML2.0 and doesn't support frames, or some of the newer features that Netscape supports.

To setup the WWW, go to the settings notebook.

When you start Internet Adventurer, click on the "Internet Adventurer" icon to use the built-in browser, if you want to integrate with Netscape, click on "Internet Adventurer (with Netscape)" icon.

Using Netscape
Internet Adventurer can integrate with Netscape, and tell it to load www-pages, instead of using the built-in browser.

The integration is not just a "Start a copy of Netscape with the URL as parameter", it is much more integrated than that.
Internet Adventurer uses an already running copy (or starts one if there isn't any) and tells it what to load.

And even more importantly, when you click on email addresses in Netscape, Internet Adventurers mailer is used.

Click on the settings notebook to configure the WWW support.

Using the Quicklist
Internet Adventurer comes with it's own quicklist (or bookmarks), and you can drag URLs from either the built-in browser, or from Netscape directly to the quicklist, to create a new entry.

You can also create groups, and keep your quicklist organized by dragging items to the groups. Access the quicklist, by selecting the main Internet Adventurer window, and clicking on the "Quicklist" tab.
