Keyboard Navigation

72
The following information is directly relevant to the CK30 and CK31
computers because they do not have touch screens; however, it can be used
with any of the other computer models as well.
To aid in navigation on computers with no touch screen, iBrowse contains
many specific features to allow navigation though the keyboard.
• The IBrowse_OnKey Meta tag maps key values on a page-by-page basis
to navigate to a specific web page or run a JavaScript function on the
current page. With this, you can assign each link available on a page a
navigation key, and can set up a key to navigate back to the previous
page. See the sample web pages installed to the "\windows\ibrowse"
directory for examples.
• [F1] Help option. Through the .ini file, you can set iBrowse to set the
[F1] key to bring up a custom help page. This page could contain
generic instructions on how to use iBrowse or a list of links to help bring
up other windows such as Options, About, or Exit. See "Reserved
HREF Values" on the next page for more information on HREF values.
A default help page, F1HELP.HTML, is installed to the
"\windows\ibrowse" directory.
• Persistent key remapping through the [Keys] section of the .ini file maps
keys permanently to features such as Return to the Home Page, Options
screen, About screen, and Exit screen.
• On CK30 computers with the standard operating system and certain
Windows Mobile computers, you can use the arrow keys to scroll up,
down, left and right when scroll bars are present.
• On a page with edit boxes, you can toggle between the arrow key
scrolling in the edit box and scrolling the page by pressing the Enter key.
For example, when a page loads and if the Edit box has focus, pressing
the arrow keys scroll the cursor in the edit box.
• If the Enter key is pressed, the cursor leaves the edit box and pressing the
arrow keys scrolls the entire web page. You can avoid this need to scroll
the web page if all pages are designed to fit on one screen. When the
Edit box has focus, press [Enter], then [Tab] to tab between multiple
edit boxes.
