VRweb 1.1 includes WWWAnchor support for Netscape and Mosaic. With
command line argument
For Netscape, the binary must be found under the name
For NCSA Mosaic you must select a CCI port number in Menu
File/CCI of Mosaic. Enter a port number between 1024 and 65535 and
mark the item "select requests". Communication from VRweb to Mosaic
will be done through this port, the name of the Mosaic binary does not
matter.
The Harmony version supports both WWWAnchor and WWWInline
without special settings.
Anchors are activated with a double-click or
ctrl-click. Whereas ctrl-click works in all modes, double-click
is disabled during the fly-to navigation tool to prevent unintended
link activation.
Anchor highlighting can be turned on and off with the Anchors
button in the toolbar. It is not necessary to have anchor
highlighting turned on to follow links.
If you prefer anchor selection with single mouse clicks, disable the
option "Enable Motion with Anchors" in the Navigate menu. This causes
a single click to follow links while anchors are highlighted.
There are two anchor highlighting methods available: color code
and brightness. They can be chosen in the Anchors submenu of
the Display menu. Color code draws anchors in a specific color
(red-brown) by default, and non-anchors in a shade of grey. Brightness
shows anchors brighter than non-anchors.
Support for WWWInline with web browsers is being worked on. Currently
it is supported in the Harmony version only.
