Overview

HTMLSample is an application that demonstrates the capabilities of the HTMLRenderingLib that is new for Mac OS 9.

Button Commands

Navigation controls are located in the top left corner of the windows as shown in figure 1.

Figure 1. Navigation controls.

Navigation controls provide a 'memory' function allowing you to browse back and forth between pages. As you click on different pages, they are accumulated into a history. At any time it is possible to go back to a previously visited page. Detailed descriptions of the controls shown in figure 1 follow:

• Go back. This command allows you to return to the most recently visited page. That is, the page that was being displayed before currently showing page was displayed.
• Go back to beginning. This command allows you to return to the very first page visited. This page will be the first one that was displayed when the window was opened.
• Go forward. After clicking 'go back' this command allows you to return to the page that was being displayed before the 'go back' command was clicked. Together, the 'go back' and 'go forward' commands allow you to walk through the display history.
• Help. This button leads to this page.

Menu Commands

The File Menu

The file menu provides two commands: open and quit. The quit command exits the application and the open command allows you to choose a file on disk for display in a new window.

The Go Menu

The Go menu provides menu commands for navigation in the front most window's visited links history. Back, Forward, and Home are identical to using the button commands with the same names. The current contents of the visited links list is shown at the bottom of the menu. To go back to a particular page in the history list, choose the title of the page from among the items listed.
