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.
