Introduction to Internet Explorer

For data exchange on the Internet, client-server technology is used, and access to certain resources is carried out using the appropriate client program. There are a large number of programs for viewing Web pages, among which the most popular is Internet Explorer.

This activity will introduce you to the most useful features of Internet Explorer, learn how to navigate the Web, how to get to the Web pages you need, and how to make Internet Explorer load Web pages faster.

Internet Explorer is included with Windows Me and Windows 2000, so there is no need to purchase additional software to access the Web.

Once Internet Explorer is installed, its icon appears on the desktop. This icon can be used to launch Internet Explorer in Browser or Explorer mode, and to configure Internet Options.

Comment

Internet Explorer, like any other Windows program, can be launched from the menu Start.

To launch Internet Explorer in browser mode, double-click the Internet Explorer icon. After starting the browser, its main window opens and the Web home page is loaded.

browser window

The Internet Explorer window contains:

menu bar

· Toolbars: Regular buttons, Address bar, Links

Status bar

Panel Regular buttons contains all the basic browser control buttons. Panels Address and Links are used to specify the address of the loaded Web page.

In the upper right corner of the window is the logo of the program, which rotates as the Web page loads. The status bar at the bottom of the window contains status messages for the Web page. The progress bar on the right side of the status bar indicates the progress of the file download. The status bar also contains an indicator showing the security level of the web pages being loaded. If necessary, you can set the mode in which the browser window will occupy the entire screen. To switch to this mode, you can use one of the following methods:

· Press the button Full screen on the toolbar

· Press a key

· Choose a team Full screen from the menu View

This closes the taskbar and browser toolbar, and displays the menu and address bar as a single line. To return to normal operation, move the cursor to the bottom of the screen. A taskbar will appear on which you need to find the browser window icon and press the right mouse button. In the context menu that opens, select the command Reestablish. You can also press the key to switch from full-screen mode to normal mode. .

Main toolbar

Main toolbar Regular buttons located at the top of the Internet Explorer window. Purpose of the buttons of this panel:

By default, after Internet Explorer is installed, only the most frequently used buttons are displayed on the main toolbar. To add or remove buttons from the toolbar, select the command Toolbars View menu and then the option Setting. A dialog box will open Toolbar customization.

Using the list Icon size you can set the button size (small or large).

Jump to a Web page

To navigate to web pages, you can use:

· Panel Address, on which you enter the address of the Web page you are interested in

Using hyperlinks

Almost every Web page contains links to other pages. The easiest way to navigate from one Web page to another is to find the hyperlink of interest on the page and click on it (text hyperlinks are underlined, the text of links to pages that have already been visited change color). There are also graphic hyperlinks that are not clearly highlighted on the screen and one image can contain several links. For example, individual parts of a picture of a person can be used to link to headwear, clothing, and footwear sections. When moving the mouse cursor over a graphical link, the arrow turns into a palm with a pointing finger (additionally, the status bar displays the addresses of the Web page to which the selected hyperlink points).

When using graphical links, Web page designers tend to make them stand out. To do this, the image with the link may contain explanatory text. Quite often, an explanation of this link is provided next to the image.

When you click on a link, the Web page specified in it opens by default in the current browser window. It can also be opened in a new window. To do this, place the cursor on the link, press the right mouse button and from the context menu that appears, select the command Open in new window.

Using a Web Page Address

The most versatile way to navigate to a Web page is by using its address. A Web site address (URL - Universal Resource Locator) usually begins with the name of the protocol. This is followed by the domain name and the location of the file relative to the domain. If you specify only the domain name, the main page of the Web site will be loaded. For example, the Encyclopedia of Cyril and Methodius has the following address: http://www. *****. Here http is the protocol that your Web application uses to communicate with a Web site and retrieve a Web page from it. The next part of the address, www, indicates that this site is a World Wide Web site. Suffix en means that the node is located in Russia, and the section of the address specified in front of it km specifies whose node it is.

Default Panel Address located below the main browser toolbar. When you enter an address in the drop-down box on this panel and press the or button Transition The browser opens the Web page you specified. All addresses that you previously entered on the panel Address, are in the drop-down list and you can select them.

http://pandia.ru/text/78/184/images/image019_16.jpg" width="468" height="87 src=">

You can leave out the initial part of the address http://www, because the browser will add it himself. If you don't enter com, org, etc., the browser will search for Web sites with all valid suffixes.

Navigate to Web pages opened in the current session

To navigate to pages loaded in the current session, use the buttons Back and Forward. By pressing these buttons, you sequentially go to the previously loaded pages. To go directly to the page, click the arrow next to the button Back or Forward. A list of pages will open. Selecting the required page from the list, you will immediately go to it.

Navigating a Web Page

If a Web page fits on the screen, then you don't need to navigate it. But in most cases, a Web page is large enough that you can use the mouse and keys to navigate it.

As with any Windows window, you can use the scroll bars to navigate a Web page. On large pages for navigation, Web page designers quite often place bookmarks. Usually in this case, at the beginning of the Web page is its table of contents, each section of which has its own bookmark. When you click on the table of contents, you go to the specified section located on this page.

Finding Information on the Current Web Page

If the Web page is large, then you may need a means of finding the information you need somewhere on the page. To perform a search, follow these steps:

1. Menu Edit select a team Find on this page or press the key combination + . A dialog box will open Search.

All Web pages that you visit, Internet Explorer stores in temporary files on your hard drive. Typically, Internet Explorer downloads each Web page once per session. For example, when you open the page for the first time in a session www. , Explorer saves it, including all page objects, in temporary files. If you then open other pages and then return to the previously selected page again, Internet Explorer will load it from hard drive and not from the Internet.

You can set the usage of temporary files. To do this, open the dialog Internet Options and in the area Temporary Internet Files tabs General press the button Options (Settings).

A dialog box of the same name will open, using the switch Checking for Updates to Saved Pages you can choose update mode. Value selection automatically significantly speeds up the viewing of recently visited pages. In this case, when returning to a page that has already been visited, Internet Explorer will not check whether the page has changed since the last time it was viewed. Validation will only be performed when returning to a page visited during the previous session or the previous day.

The Russian language" href="/text/category/russkij_yazik/" rel="bookmark"> of the Russian text are Cyrillic (KOI8) and Cyrillic (Windows). The first of them is mainly used when working with UNIX computers, and the second - when using Windows.

Many Russian Web sites have several variants of Web pages with different encodings. In this case, you can choose to link to a page with your encoding.

http://pandia.ru/text/78/184/images/image035_5.jpg" width="550" height="453 src=">

Formation of search criteria

In the examples above, only one keyword was used for the search. Given such a search criterion, it is very difficult to find the required data, since there may be too many Web pages containing it. Sequential browsing of not only Web pages, but even a list of them will take too long. Therefore, to set a more accurate criterion, it is advisable to use the capabilities of search services. The principles of organizing search for different services may differ, but you can always find help information on the main page of these services. As an example, consider organizing a search using the Yandex search engine.

The easiest and most understandable way to set a search condition is to enter the words that interest you in the search bar. In this case, the search engine will select Web pages that contain all of the specified words.

For example, if you are going to have a seaside vacation and want to get a variety of information on this issue using the Internet, enter in the search field vacation at sea and press the button Search. The search engine will select a list of Web pages that contain all of these words. At the top of the list will be documents in which the query words occur the most times and are as close as possible to each other.

In the section on the question, the contact does not work....Internet Explorer cannot display this web page...although other sites open as specified by the author Vik Vik The best answer is In 99% of cases, blocking access to sites is caused by a virus that changes the hosts file that is on your computer. It simply redirects you to another page.

You need to go to My Computer\drive C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc, right-click on the hosts file and select Properties from the list. In the properties, you will need to uncheck "Read only" (if it is) and click OK. Then right-click on the file again, select "Open" -> "Notepad". In the file, you will need to delete ALL LINES after "127.0.0.1 localhost". That is, after this line, you should not have anything at all.

After the done change operation, you MUST SAVE (File - Save) and re-set the "Read Only" attribute in its Properties.

REBOOT THE COMPUTER.

IF SOMETHING IS NOT UNDERSTANDING, for example, this file is absolutely empty, there is no line 127.0.0.1 localhost in it, or the changes did not help (and this is quite possible, since the virus sometimes replaces this file), then go here: link. Here is a program for automatic corrections to the real hosts file.

And one more way: download this free Dr.Web CureIt utility link, it does not require installation, does not conflict with an already installed antivirus (you don’t even have to disable it), after a quick check, be sure to run the full one. She copes well with a virus that blocks some sites, including Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki

Answer from 2 answers[guru]

Hello! Here is a selection of topics with answers to your question: contact does not work....Internet Explorer cannot display this web page...although other sites open

To open Internet pages, you must use an appropriate browser. The browser opens and displays web pages. Internet Explorer is installed on any version of Windows. But many Internet users install additional browsers. For example, one of the most popular browsers is Opera. Although browsers differ in interface and functionality, the principle of operation is the same.

You will need

• Computer, Internet Explorer browser, Internet access

Instruction

To do this, click "Start" and go to the "Control Panel" tab. Then select the line "Internet Options". Select the General tab. The topmost line will be labeled "Home Page". Below the line is a box with the address of the current home page. Use the mouse to highlight this address and delete it. Or click under this window on the "Empty" tab. Then select "Apply" (at the very bottom of the window). Then click OK.

Now you can open without any hindrance web pages. To do this, click "Start", go to the "All Programs" tab and select the Internet Explorer program. When the program loads, it will display a blank window. Notice the top two lines. If you already have the address of the web page you need, just enter it in the left line. Then click on the arrow next to the line. The web page will open in an Internet Explorer window.

If you do not have a specific page address, but you are looking for web pages with a specific topic, enter a request for the necessary information in the right line (for example, “fishing” or the name of a city or hotel). Click on the icon to the right of the window (it usually has the shape of a magnifying glass). The browser will search for pages with the information you need. The pages will be displayed as a list in the Internet Explorer window. From the list of pages, select the one you need, and it will open completely in the Internet Explorer window.

note

First, we treat the virus itself, which prevents browsers from opening pages when the Internet is working. Download the AVZ program from the official website (the program is free and does not require installation) and run it. With the help of this wizard, we look for and fix all problems on our PC. After checking, we overload the computer, the virus was successfully removed, but browsers do not open sites. The problem is that we removed the virus, but traces of its vital activity remained.

The Internet does not open some pages (mainly Internet stores and official pages of antivirus programs, as it turned out) in all browsers. Writes: Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to... or Network problem. Although it works on other computers. I am an absolute noob in all computer matters. Several times I found viruses with different antivirus programs, after that everything got better, but as soon as I restarted the computer, the sites did not open again. In hosts - everything is clean.
