How to use this Hyper-Text Navigation Viewing examples IMPORTANT Notes about browsers [ TOP ] Navigation The navigation of this book is set up using hypertext linking. You are most likely familiar with this concept. If not, you should be comfortable by Chapter 4 where linking will be discussed in detail. Each page of this book has common features you will use to navigate through the chapters. Along the left side of the screen in the gray area you will see the chapter headings. By clicking on any of the headings, you will be taken to the first page of that chapter. These links are available on nearly every page throughout the book. The exceptions are the examples, talked about in the following section, and the Evaluation Guide. At the top of every page is a navigation bar and a chapter title graphic. The title graphics quickly inform you of your current chapter. If the title graphic says "Learn The Ways Of The World Wide Web," then you are not in a chapter, but instead are in another area such as an index or appendix. The navigation bar looks like the following: The HOME button will always take you to the front page of the book. The INDEX button will always take you to the first page of the index. The left and right arrows will guide you through the sequence of the logical pages of the book. When you are within a particular chapter, the navigation bar will also tell you the current page you are on in the chapter. Page 3 At the bottom of most of the pages there are also text links to guide you to the "Previous" and "Next" pages in the book. These are provided for your convenience so that you do not have to scroll back to the top of the page just to navigate. [ TOP ] Viewing Examples Many of the examples embedded in the text will give you the option to "Open in New Window." When you first click on this option, a new browser window will open and display the example in its entirety. Some examples do not show up well embedded in the text or they may not show up at all. In this case you will definitely want to view the example in a new window. Windows 95 users: When a new browser window opens, another button will appear on the taskbar. You will then have a button for the original text, and another window for examples. You can go back to the original text by clicking its button. When you select another example to open in a new window, it will open in the examples window but will not necessarily come to the top. You can see the example by clicking the other button for the examples window on the task bar. Windows 3.1x users: When a new browser window opens, the orignal window will be covered. You can press Ctrl-Alt-TAB to navigation through all of the opened windows. Using this feature, you can navigate back to the original text window. When you click on another example to open in a new window, it will open in the example window but will not always come to the top. You can use Ctrl-Alt-TAB to navigate to the example window and view the example. This CD and its features are not guaranteed to work on a Macintosh or UNIX machine. [ TOP ] IMPORTANT Notes about browsers Some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 may not open a new window for the examples. You should try to get the most recent version. You can check your current version by selecting the Help menu in Internet Explorer, then clicking on About Internet Explorer. There will be a short animation and the version number will come up from the bottom. Testing has shown that version 4.72.2106.8 will work properly.
