5 Using the Web browser (Series 60 3
rd
Edition)
5.1 Introduction to browsing
All handsets running Series 60 3
rd
Edition provide the Web browser to access the internet. This browser is
supported by TALKS by implementing virtual browsing capabilities. Web pages can be read line by line,
or by using continuous read-out, and quick keys can be used to find certain types of objects easily.
TALKS does not yet support local or saved web pages. To enable virtual browsing, you have to make sure
that “Java/ECMA support” is left “on” in the Web browser settings.
5.2 Loading a web page
There are several ways to load a web page:
1.
Select a web page that has been saved to the list of bookmarks. If the list of bookmarks
is not visible, you can display it by pressing
[Key 1]
(“Options”), and then selecting
“Bookmarks”.
2.
When the list of bookmarks is visible, you can enter a web address. Please note that what
you enter is prepended by
http://www.
, so you have to delete part of this if it is not
desireable.
3.
You can press
[Key 1]
(“Options”), then select “Go to web page” or “Navigate” / “Go
to web page”, and enter the address of a web page. After each letter, a list of matching
visited web pages is displayed, and you can press
[Up]
to set the focus to this list, and
select a page.
4.
After a number of web pages have been displayed during the current session, you can
press
[Key 2]
(“Back”) to go to previously visited pages. After pressing “Back”, you can
use
[Left]
and
[Right]
to select one of these pages, and
[Select]
to reload it. Please
note that the text corresponding to the last position read with TALKS on each page is
shown in the list, not the name of the page.
While a web page is loaded, you can press
[TALKS], [Long Key 2]
to read the amount of data that has
already been loaded. If you have activated automatic progress read-out, you hear this information
automatically (see section 4.2.25). After the load process has been completed, TALKS announces the
number of frames, headings, and links on that web page. Now, you can use the reading commands and
quick keys to access its content.
5.3 TALKS commands to read web pages
The following commands are available when a web page is displayed in the Web browser. We call them
“quick keys”, because you do not have to press the
[TALKS]
key before issuing these, and because they
offer quick access to certain objects on the current web page.

Key
Description

When the reading cursor is on the beginning of a list or table, this quick key moves it to the end
of that structure, and vice-versa. When inside a list, the reading cursor is moved to the next list
entry; when inside a table, the reading cursor is moved to the next row.
