If you check this box, &konqueror; will +try to remember what you answer to form questions, and will try to fill +in forms for you with the answers you previously used.</para> + +<para>You can configure the number of form items &konqueror; remembers +with the slider below labelled <guilabel>Maximum +completions</guilabel></para> + +<note><para>Of course, anything &konqueror; fills in a form with, you +can still edit before submitting the form!</para></note> + +<para>The next option is <guilabel>Change cursor over +links</guilabel>. If this option is selected, the shape of the cursor +will change (usually to a hand) whenever it moves over a +hyperlink. This makes it easy to identify links, especially when they +are in the form of images.</para> + +<para>&konqueror; defaults to a single window per page, but has the +capability to open multiple <firstterm>tabs</firstterm> inside a +single window. &konqueror; also, by default, has a &MMB; shortcut to +open any link in a new window. If you enable <guilabel>Open links in +new tab instead of in new window</guilabel> you can &MMB; click on a +link to have it open in a new tab.</para> + +<para>If you are using tabbed browsing, you can choose if a newly +opened tab becomes the active (<quote>front</quote>) tab, or goes to +the back. On a slow internet connection, or while browsing a page +that has a list of headlines or other links in a list, you may like to +have the new tabs load in the background while you continue reading. +In this case, leave this setting disabled. If you prefer to go +straight to the new page, leaving the old one in the background to +return to later, enable it.</para> + +<para>If you close a window in &konqueror; that has multiple tabs +open, &konqueror; will ask you if you're sure that you meant to close +it. You can toggle on and off this behavior with the +<guilabel>Confirm when closing windows with multiple tabs</guilabel> +checkbox.</para> + +<para>As a convenience feature, if you enable <guilabel>Right click +goes back in history</guilabel>, then clicking an empty area (&ie; not +a link) in the &konqueror; window will act as if you pressed the +<guiicon>Back</guiicon> button on the toolbar.</para> + +<para>The checkbox labeled <guilabel>Automatically load +images</guilabel>, allows you to control whether images on web pages are +loaded by default. Unless you have a very slow connection, you will +probably want to leave this option selected, as there are many web pages +that are difficult to use without images. If you don't select the option +to automatically load images, you can still view the text on the page, +and then load the images if you need them.</para> + +<para>Enabling <guilabel>Allow automatic delayed +reloading/redirecting</guilabel> allows websites to send you to +another page without your interaction. In many cases, this is a +convenience. For example, the website has moved to a new +<acronym>URL</acronym>. Many webmasters in this situation will put up +a page on the old site, telling you that it has moved and you may like +to change your bookmark, and then automatically move you along to the +new website. However, such features can be confusing, or annoying, +when misused, and so you may wish to disable it.</para> + +<para>The next setting is <guilabel>Underline links:</guilabel>. You can +choose to underline links <guilabel>Always</guilabel>. If this option +is selected, any text on web pages that acts as a link will be shown in +an underlined font. While many web pages do use color to distinguish +text that acts as a link, underlining makes it very easy to spot +links.</para> + +<para>If you don't like underlined links, you can choose +<guilabel>Never</guilabel>, so that no links are underlined. Or you +can choose a middle ground, <guilabel>Hover</guilabel>, so that links +are underlined when the mouse cursor is resting over them, and not +underlined the rest of the time.</para> + +<para>Many web pages use animated gif images, and these can be very +annoying, and in some cases, quite a drain on your system resources. +The <guilabel>Animations</guilabel> option lets you choose when +animations are enabled. The default is enabled, but you can set this +to disabled, or to run the animation only once, even if the file +itself contains instructions that the animation should run more times, +or continuously.</para> + +</sect2> + +<sect2 id="kbrowse-appearance"> + +<title>Fonts</title> + +<para>Under this tab, you can select various options related to the use +of fonts. Although the shapes and sizes of fonts are often part of the +design of a web page, you can select some default settings for +&konqueror; to use.</para> + +<para>The first thing you can set here is the font size. There are two +settings which work together to allow you a comfortable browsing +experience.</para> + +<para>Firstly, you can set a <guilabel>Minimum Font Size</guilabel>. +This means, even if the font size is set specifically in the page you +are viewing, &konqueror; will ignore that instruction and never show +smaller fonts than you set here.</para> + +<para>Next you can set a <guilabel>Medium Font Size</guilabel>. This is +not only the default size of text, used when the page doesn't specify +sizes, but it is also used as the base size that relative font sizes are +calculated against. That is, the <acronym>HTML</acronym> instruction +<quote>smaller</quote>, it means smaller than the size you set for this +option.</para> + +<para>For either option, you can select the exact font size in points by +using the up/down spin control (or just typing) next to the option +label.</para> + +<para>These options are independent of each other. Pages that do not +set a font size, or ask for the default, will display with the size +you set from <guilabel>Medium Font Size</guilabel>, while any pages +that ask for a size smaller than your <guilabel>Minimum Font +Size</guilabel> setting will instead show that size. The one does not +affect the other.</para> + +<para>The remaining options are for the fonts to be associated with +different types of markup used in <acronym>HTML</acronym> pages. Note +that many web pages may override these settings. If you click anywhere +on a control which shows a font name, a list of font names appears, and +you can select a different font if you like. (If there are a lot of +fonts, a vertical scrollbar appears in the list to allow you to scroll +through all of the fonts.)</para> +<!-- +<para>You can set a font for each <quote>type</quote> of markup, for +each <guilabel>Charset</guilabel>, by changing the character set in the +first drop down box, and then selecting a font for each category below. +This would take quite some time, so you may just want to set up the +fonts for your default character set. Most English speaking users will +use iso8859-1</para> +--> +<para>Below this, you can set a <guilabel>Font size adjustment for this +encoding</guilabel>. Sometimes the fonts you want to use for a +particular encoding or language are much larger or smaller than average, +so you can use this setting to bring them into line.</para> + +<para>You can set a default encoding that &konqueror; should assume +pages are when rendering them. The default setting is <guilabel>Use +language encoding</guilabel>, but you can change it to any encoding +available in the list.</para> + +</sect2> + +<sect2 id="kbrowse-java"> +<title>&Java; and JavaScript</title> + +<para>&Java; allows applications to be downloaded and run by a web +browser, provided you have the necessary software installed on your +machine. Many web sites make use of &Java; (for example, online +banking services or interactive gaming sites). You should be aware +that running programs from unknown sources could pose a threat to the +security of your computer, even if the potential extent of the damage +is not great.</para> + +<para>The checkboxes under <guilabel>Global Settings</guilabel> allows +you to turn &Java; support on for all web sites by default. You can +also select to turn &Java; on or off for specific hosts. To add a +policy for a specific host, click the <guilabel>Add...</guilabel> +button to bring up a dialog in which you can type the host name and +then choose to accept or reject &Java; code from that particular host, +which will add the domain to the list on the left of the page.</para> + +<para>You can select a host in the list, and click the +<guilabel>Change...</guilabel> button to choose a different policy for +that host. Clicking the <guilabel>Delete</guilabel> button removes the +policy for the selected host; after deletion, the global settings will +then apply to that host. You can import policies from a file by clicking +the <guilabel>Import...</guilabel> button. To save the current list to a +compressed archive file, click the <guilabel>Export...</guilabel> +button.</para> + +<para>Finally, the group of controls labeled <guilabel>Java Runtime +Settings</guilabel> allows you to set some options for the way in +which &Java; should run. These options are useful for diagnosing +problems, or if you are a &Java; developer, and should not normally +need adjusting.</para> + +<para>If you select the <guilabel>Show Java +Console</guilabel> option, &konqueror; will open a console window from +which &Java; applications can read and write text. While most &Java; +applications will not require such a console, it could be helpful in +diagnosing problems with &Java; applications.</para> + +<para><guilabel>Use KIO</guilabel> will cause the +<acronym>JVM</acronym>to use &tde;'s own <acronym>KIO</acronym> +transports for network connections.</para> + +<para><guilabel>Use security +manager</guilabel> is normally enabled by default. This setting will +cause the <acronym>JVM</acronym> to run with a Security Manager in place. This will keep +applets from being able to read and write to your file system, creating +arbitrary sockets, and other actions which could be used to compromise +your system. Disable this option at your own risk. You can modify your <filename>$<envar>HOME</envar>/.java.policy</filename> file with the +&Java; policytool utility to give code downloaded from certain sites +more permissions.</para> + +<para>The <guilabel>Shutdown Applet Server when inactive</guilabel> +checkbox allows you to save resources by closing the &Java; Applet +Server when it is not in use, rather than leaving it running in the +background. Leaving this disabled may make &Java; applets start up +faster, but it will use system resources when you are not using a +&Java; applet. If you enable this, you can set a timeout.</para> + +<para>You can either opt to have &konqueror; automatically detect the +&Java; installation on your system, or specify the path to the +installation yourself by selecting <guilabel>Use user-specified +Java</guilabel>. You may want to choose the latter method, for +instance, if you have multiple &Java; installations on your system, +and want to specify which one to use. If the &Java; Virtual Machine +you are using requires any special startup options, you can type them +in the text box labeled <guilabel>Additional Java +Arguments</guilabel>.</para> + +</sect2> + +<sect2 id="kbrowse-javascript"> +<title>JavaScript</title> + +<para>Despite the name, JavaScript is not related at all to +&Java;.</para> + +<para>The first part of this page works the same as the &Java; page +settings.</para> + +<para>The checkboxes under <guilabel>Global Settings</guilabel> allow +you to turn JavaScript support on for all web sites by default.

You +can also disable JavaScript from changing the status bar text, so that +for instance, you can always see where links will take you when +clicked.The choices for these options are <guilabel>Allow</guilabel> and +<guilabel>Ignore</guilabel>.</para> + +<para>For opening a new window, there is even more control.
