Internet
tips and tricks
1)
You don't need the http:// and www. Portion of a web page-Automatic URL
rewriting!!
When
typing an Internet address you do not need to type http:// or even www. In the address. For example, if you wanted to
visit Google you could just type google.com and press enter. To make things
even quicker, if you're visiting a .com address you can type it and then press
Ctrl + Enter to type out the full!!
2)
Quickly move between the fields of a web page
If you're filling out an online form, e-mail,
or other text field you can quickly move between each of the fields by pressing
the Tab key or Shift + Tab to move back a field. For example, if you're filling
out your name and the next field is your e-mail address you can press the Tab
key to switch to the e-mail field. This tip also applies to the buttons, if you
press tab and the web developer has designed correctly the button should be
selected and will allow you to press the space bar or enter to push the button.
3)Navigate
in Drop-down box
If
you have a drop-down box that lists every country or every state you can click
that box and then press the letter of the state or country you're looking for.
For example, is a drop-down box of country in the world you could press i on
the keyboard to quickly scroll to India.
4)Use
Internet search engines to their full potential
Make sure to get the most out of every search
result. If you're not finding what you want then try to surround the text with
quotes. For example, if you were searching for 'Computer Tricks' this actually
searches for pages that contain both Computer and Tricks and not necessarily pages
that have computer and help next to each other. If you search for
"computer help" with the quotes around the search query this will
only return pages that actually have computer and help next to each other.
Enjoy!
