Application Icon   The Web menu

The Web menu contains all commands that are directly related to web browsing, from quickly turning Java on or off to switching between views and reloading a webpage. All commands in this menu act on the frontmost web browser window.

Enable Plugins, ...

  • Icon
    Plugins: Enables or disables plugins.
  • Icon
    Java: Enables or disables Java.
  • Icon
    JavaScript: Enables or disables JavaScript.

Use these options to quickly switch plugins, Java, or JavaScript on and off without visiting the Preferences.

Stop Loading, ...

  • Icon
    Stop Loading: Stops loading a the webpage. This is equal to clicking the reload/stop button on the address bar of a web browser window when a page is loading.
  • Icon
    Reload Page: Reloads the webpage. This is equal to clicking the reload/stop button on the address bar of a web browser window when a page is completely loaded.
  • Icon
    Actual Size: Zooms the page to its actual size.
  • Icon
    Zoom In: Zooms in.
  • Icon
    Zoom Out: Zooms out.
  • Icon
    Zoom Text Only: When this option is checked, only the text of the page is made larger and smaller. When unchecked, DEVONagent Pro uses Safari-4-style zooming.
  • Icon
    Text Encoding: Changes the text encoding used for displaying a webpage. Use this sub-menu to manually adjust the text encoding if DEVONagent Pro displays accented characters, umlauts or East Asian characters incorrectly. Generally, websites publish their encoding and DEVONagent Pro reads this metadata for adjusting the encoding automatically.

View, ...

  • Icon
    Source Code: Shows the source code of the webpage.
  • Icon
    Text: Shows only the pure text of the webpage.
  • Icon
    Layout: Shows the webpage rendered (normal).

These three options switch the mode of the frontmost web browser window between different modes. Use these modes to view only the raw text of a layout-intensive webpage, or to switch to the source code to find information that is hidden in the code but not visible in the layout. DEVONagent Pro displays the source code with syntax coloring. The text only mode is also useful for copying/extracting information from pages with a complex table layout.

Sidebar

  • Icon
    Show: Shows or hides the sidebar.
  • Icon
    Bookmarks: Switches to the bookmarks pane of the sidebar.
  • Icon
