1. Back button - Just like a normal browser, each frame has a back button.
Each frame's back button controls the history for the
corresponding frame. If nothing is in the frame's history, clicking the back button will
trigger your main browser's back button (Firefox or other).
2. Forward button - Clicking here navigates to the next page. If nothing is "forward"
in the corresponding frame, clicking the forward button will blow up the internet ...
actually it will not do anything
3. URL bar - Similar to your normal browser, typing in a direct address and clicking go will take you to the
website you type. What makes it different is that the current page you are viewing will not
be shown in this address bar. That is simply not possible without passing every page through a proxy.
4. Minimize button - Clicking the frame's minimize button will return the frame to it's original
position (1/4 of the screen) and will not "hide" the frame.
5. Maximize button - Maximizing the frame will make the corresponding frame take over the page and
will "hide" the other 3 frames.
What are Bookmarks? - Searching public bookmarks is one of the best features of 4browsers.com. Each bookmark consists
of 4 web sites that are of similar theme. For instance, a news theme would contain frames like
usatoday.com, abc.com, cnn.com & news.google.com. Similarly, browsing an "ajax tutorial" bookmark
will show 4 tutorials (or groups of tutorials) instead of just one ... sounds useful huh?
How Do I use Bookmarks? - There are 2 ways to navigate bookmarks as shown in the below picture.
Bookmarks are hidden on the page until you click the "Bookmarks" tab in the menu.
1. The top dropdown box is for "General Bookmarks". This is an administrative controled section of the
web site that is maintained so that users can get an idea of what 4browsers.com can do. You do not have to
be logged in to see the general bookmarks, everyone has access to them.
2. The bottom dropdown box is for "My Bookmarks". After signing up for an account, you have the ability
to create bookmarks of your own. These bookmarks are saved in our database and available to you on each
and every page of 4browsers.com.
When creating a bookmark, users are prompted to enter "tags" that describe the bookmark they are creating.
By doing this it allows for their bookmark to be easily searched. To search tags, click "Search Tags" in the
top menu. A hidden form on the page will pop up prompting you to enter a search term. After doing so
and clicking "search", you will be presented with all bookmarks that use this particular word. Click the link
and you are viewing the bookmark. For example, try searching for "sports" and view all the bookmarks related to
sports.
