Enabling or disabling autofill
Filling out an order form or application on the web usually requires entering 
several pieces of information: your name, address, phone number, and so on. By 
default, Web Browser Pro stores the information you entered in these fields. The 
next time you use that order form and type the first few letters in a field, Web 
Browser Pro remembers the last item you entered in that field that started with 
those letters, and fills in the field. 
This also applies to URLs. If autofill is enabled, when you enter the first few letters 
of a URL you’ve entered before in the URL Entry field, Web Browser Pro completes 
the URL for you.
To enable or disable autofill:
1.Ta p  t h e  M e n u  i c o n   .
2.Tap Options, and then tap Preferences.
3.Ta p  G e n e r a l .
4.In the Autofill Text check box, do one of the following:
– To turn off autofill, tap to remove the checkmark.
– To turn on autofill, tap to select it.

Enabling or disabling cookies
Some web sites store information in a small text file, called a cookie. Cookies usually 
contain information about you and your preferences for that web site. A site can 
use this information to customize the pages you see the next time you visit.
Allowing a web site to create a cookie does not give the site access to the rest of 
your handheld. A cookie stores only the information you provide while visiting 
the web site.
By default, Web Browser Pro saves the cookies it receives. You can tell it not to 
accept cookies.
To enable or disable cookies:
1.Ta p  t h e  M e n u  i c o n   .
2.Tap Options, and then tap Preferences.
3.Tap Advanced.
4.In the Accept cookies check box, do one of the following:
– To not store cookies, tap to remove the checkmark.
– To accept cookies, tap to select it.
5.Ta p  O K .
Enabling or disabling JavaScript
Web Browser Pro supports JavaScript code on web pages. JavaScript is often used 
on web pages for interactive content.
NOTESome JavaScript implementations are not supported, such as mouse 
rollovers and form validation.
To enable or disable JavaScript:
1.Ta p  t h e  M e n u  i c o n   .
2.Tap Options, and then tap Preferences.
3.Tap Advanced.
4.In the Enable JavaScript check box, do one of the following:
– To disable JavaScript, tap to remove the checkmark.

Changing the size and content of the cache
The cache in Web Browser Pro consists of web pages that are stored so you can view 
them again without accessing the Internet. By default, this cache is saved, thereby 
saving the content you’ve viewed even when you exit Web Browser Pro. 
Pages that you explicitly save are also stored in the cache, although they are not 
deleted when the cache is cleared. You must delete saved pages separately to clear 
that portion of the cache. See “Deleting a saved page.”
You can change the size of the cache to increase the number of web pages stored, 
you can choose to clear the cache immediately, or you can choose to clear the cache 
each time you exit Web Browser Pro so it starts fresh at the beginning of each 
session.
To change the size and content of the cache:
1.Ta p  t h e  M e n u  i c o n   .
2.Tap Options, and then tap Preferences.
3.Tap Advanced.
4.Use one or more of the following options:
NOTERemember that your handheld has a limited amount of memory. 
Choose a cache size that lets you store at least a few pages but still leaves room 
on your handheld for other data and applications. A value of at least 500KB is 
recommended.

Controlling how Web Browser Pro accesses the Internet
Because some wireless Internet service providers (ISPs) charge by the amount of 
data you download, Web Browser Pro is careful to limit how often it accesses the 
Internet. If you have a faster or more permanent connection to the Internet, the 
default settings should work for you. 
If you have a slower or more expensive Internet connection, you can enable three 
settings that can help reduce your access costs.
To change connection settings:
1.Ta p  t h e  M e n u  i c o n   .
2.Tap Options, and then tap Preferences.
3.Ta p  G e n e r a l .
4.Tap the check box next to the following options to enable or disable that option:
By default, these options are disabled (that is, there are no checks in the check 
boxes).
5.Ta p  O K .
Changing Network Preferences
Web Browser Pro includes many options you can use to change the way in which 
you access the network.
To change Network Preferences:
1.Ta p  t h e  M e n u  i c o n   .

There are several ways for you to easily check the current time and date.
To view the time:
Do one of the following:
■When your handheld is on, tap the Clock icon   in the upper-left corner of the 
Graffiti 2 writing area.
Your handheld displays the time for two seconds and then returns to the 
previous application.

seconds.
■Tap the Home icon  , and then select the World Clock icon  .
Setting the primary location
You can use World Clock to select the location, date and time for the primary 
location. Keep in mind that the primary location settings are also your system date 
and time and that these settings are used by all the applications on your handheld. 
The primary Location settings also appear in the Date & Time Preferences screen. 
Similarly, if you change the settings in the Date & Time Preferences screen, those 
settings become your system date and time and also appear under the primary 
location in World Clock. The primary Location settings also serve as a point of 
reference for the secondary locations.
The following steps show you how to set the location, date and time from within 
World Clock. See“Date & Time Preferences” in Chapter 22 for details on changing 
these settings from the Preference screen.
To set the primary location:
1.Tap the primary location pick list.

Choosing a different primary location
If you travel to another location and you want alerts to appear based on local time, 
you need to change the primary location to update the system time. You may 
prefer, however, to use the secondary locations to view the local date and time, and 
to leave the primary location unchanged.
To change the primary location:
1.Tap the pick list next to the current primary location.
2.Tap the location you want to use as the new primary location. 
If the new location is in another time zone, World Clock automatically updates the 
date and time in all the applications on your handheld.
Setting the secondary locations
The secondary locations display the date and time in two locations other than the 
primary location. You can use the secondary locations to view the time in places to 
which you travel or need to contact people.
The date and time in the secondary locations are based on the date and time 
settings in the primary location.
