Finding web pages you recently visited
Using the Back and Forward icons to browse through the pages you recently 
visited, one page at a time, can be tedious. Instead, you can use the History list to

History list contains a record of the last 50 pages you have visited and is saved even 
when you exit Web Pro.

want to save the location or content of a web page indefinitely, create a bookmark or 
a saved page for that page before clearing the History list. For more information on

By default, your handheld comes with the proxy server turned on and displays 
pages in Handheld view. When you select Normal View, you have a choice to turn 
off the proxy server and display pages in Normal View, or remain in Handheld 
View. By keeping the proxy server turned on, web pages generally load much 
faster and your data charges are reduced. For more information on using a proxy 
server, see “Changing the proxy server” later in this chapter.

Changing how images are downloaded
Images in web pages can be very large. If you are accessing the Internet by using a 
proxy server, you may be able to set options to make web pages download faster 
by reducing image quality or removing images altogether, or you may choose to 
have images downloaded so that they appear at their highest quality. 
IMPORTANTIf you are not using a proxy server, you will only be able to select or 
deselect an option to view images. When you choose to view images, they will be 
displayed at their best quality.
To change how images are downloaded and displayed:
1.Open the menus.
2.Select Display Options from the Options menu.
3.Select one of the following items from the Images pick list:

disabled, your changes have no effect.
To change your start page:
1.Tap the Menu icon  .
2.Select Preferences from the Options menu.
No ImagesAll web pages are downloaded without images. If images are 
already in cache, they will be displayed.
Low QualityImages are compressed and have a very low resolution. 
This makes downloading faster but results in reduced 
image quality.
Normal QualityImage quality is average. This is the best compromise 
between speed and image quality.
High QualityImage quality is better than average. This is the default setting.
Best QualityImages are downloaded at their highest quality. This may 
result in longer download times.

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 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 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 Pro completes the URL 
for you.

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.

your handheld. A cookie stores only the information you provide while visiting 
the web site.
By default, Web Pro saves the cookies it receives. You can tell it not to accept 
cookies. You can also periodically delete cookies from your handheld.
To enable or disable cookies:
1.Tap the Menu icon  .
2.Select Preferences from the Options menu.

Changing the size and content of the cache
The cache in Web 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 Pro. 
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 Palm Tungsten T3 so that it starts fresh at the beginning of each 
session.
To change the size and content of the cache:
