Entering a URL

From the DPWeb access screen, type the web address that you wish to visit into the URL field. Make sure that the "Page limit" and "No links" options are set correctly, then click the access button. DPWeb will retrieve the requested page through Digital Paths Pathway servers and return the content to be displayed on your palm.

From that point on, any link you select will go through DPWeb and will be restricted to the page size limit that you selected. To return to DPWeb to enter a new URL, Deluxe users can tap on the 'Return to DPWeb' link located at the top of the page. Basic users will find a DPWeb button located at the bottom of the page.

Page Limit

The page size setting determines how much of each page is returned and allows you to control how much information you receive. The amount that actually downloads may vary slightly more or less that the page size limit that you choose.

If the web page happens to be larger than your page size limit, you will not receive the entire page. A link at the bottom of the page will allow you access to subsequent sections.

Although DPWeb provides options to go as high as 12K on the page limit, we have found that using a page limit higher than 4K may be problematical in areas where the Palm.net coverage is not very good. Keep this in mind when setting the page limit higher than 4K.

No Links

Checking the "No Links" option causes DPWeb to remove all HTML tags from the web page and deliver only text. This will allow you to receive more text content from the page given the same text size limit, but any links will be removed preventing further browsing.
