Browser settings: Options
Use this chooser to select the HTML mode.
It is recommended that you leave this set to tolerant unless you
encounter problems with a page.
This checkbox determines if AWeb will interpret
JavaScript in documents, or not.
This checkbox determines if AWeb will use and display frames.
Many pages contain background images or background colours. AWeb will
display these only if this checkbox is checked. If it is unchecked, AWeb
will use only the colours defined in the Browser
colours settings page.
Some pages have a background sound attached. If this checkbox is selected,
the sound plays every time you display the page. If it is unselected, the
sound will not be played automatically. You can hear the sound only after
selecting the Control / Play background sound menu item.
The checkbox determines whether links should be displayed underlined or not. If
underlined is selected, new links are underlined with a
solid line, and visited links will have a dashed line.
If this checkbox is selected, images that are links have a border in the
appropriate colour.
Many people use a commodity that turns cycle gadgets into popup menus.
Because this changes the behaviour of the gadget but not the appearance,
and because it only affects GadTools gadgets which are not always used (because
of the limitations of the gadtools library), using such a commodity is not a
good idea.
Because a cycle gadget certainly has its drawbacks, AWeb offers the possibility
to display a cycle field in a form as a list. Note that selection
fields with more than 5 selections, or with multiple selections, are always
turned into a list.
If this checkbox is selected, all selection fields are displayed as lists,
even those with less than 5 selections.
When reading a page that contain a large table, most browsers don't display
anything until the entire table is read in, which can last quite long.
AWeb supports incremental table display, that means that the table
is displayed while it is read in. The advantage is clear: you see more of
the page in an earlier stage of loading.
There are however two drawbacks. First, a later section of the table may
enforce different column widths, resulting in a redisplay of the entire
table. In the worst case, this means that the table is redisplayed with
every block of data read, causing an ugly flicker. Second, incremental
table display may be about 10% slower than normal display, but probably
this is more than compensated for by the earlier display.
With this checkbox you can switch between incremental and non-incremental
table display.
On small windows (like those on 200 or 256 high screens), a framed page
often appears squeezed. If you check this checkbox, a larger height is
used to layout the framed page against if the window has a small height.
This will make the individual frames larger and easier to use.
This field determines the rate at which blinking text blinks. The number
is the number of tenths of a second that each blinking phase (on or off)
lasts. When you set this number to zero, blinking is disabled.
