|
|
|
|
<p>Sidebar is a customizable area in your browser where you can keep items
|
|
that you need to use all the time—the latest news and weather, your
|
|
address book, stock quotes, a calendar—and many other available
|
|
options. Sidebar presents these items to you in tabs that are continually
|
|
updated.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>&brandShortName; comes with some Sidebar tabs already set up, but you can
|
|
customize Sidebar by adding, removing, and rearranging tabs.</p>

<p>To open Sidebar, <span class="noMac">press <kbd>F9</kbd> or</span> open the
|
|
View menu in Navigator, choose Show/Hide, and then Sidebar from the

|
|
|
|
<p>Once Sidebar is opened, you can use its handle to close, open and resize
|
|
Sidebar's frame. Move the mouse pointer up and down along the left edge
|
|
of the &brandShortName; window. The pointer changes to a hand when it touches
|
|
the <q>handle</q> for Sidebar, as shown in the picture.</p>

<p>Tabbed Browsing lets you open more than one web page in a single window.

Each web page has its own tab across the top of a single Navigator window.

icq.com, and cnn.com within one window instead of three windows.</p>

<p>Bookmarks are shortcuts to your favorite and most-visited web pages. Rather

|
|
|
|
<p>You access your bookmarks through the Bookmarks menu, the Bookmarks tab on
|
|
Sidebar, and the Manage Bookmarks window. You can control what's listed
|
|
in the Bookmarks menu by adding bookmarks for your favorite web pages and
|
|
organizing your list of bookmarks any way you want.</p>

<h3 id="exporting_or_importing_a_bookmark_list">Exporting or Importing a
|
|
Bookmark List</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Your bookmarks are stored in a file named bookmarks.html. You can export a
|
|
copy of this file and save it in a folder of your choosing. You can then edit
|
|
it and treat it as you would any HTML file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.</li>
|
|
<li>In your Bookmarks window, open the Tools menu, and choose Export.</li>
|
|
<li>In the <q>Export Bookmarks File</q> dialog box, choose a folder.
|
|
Your bookmarks.html file will be copied into the folder you designate.</li>
|
|
<li>Click Save.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Your &brandShortName; bookmarks are not altered by this procedure.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can also import bookmarks files from other sources. For example, you can
|
|
import bookmarks files from earlier &brandShortName; versions, other
|
|
browsers, or from bookmarks files that your friends send you.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before you start, make sure that the bookmarks file you want to import is an
|
|
HTML file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.</li>
|
|
<li>In your Bookmarks window, open the Tools menu and choose Import.</li>
|
|
<li>In the <q>Import Bookmarks File</q> dialog box, locate and select
|
|
the bookmarks file you want to import.</li>
|
|
<li>Click Open.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>The imported bookmarks file is treated as a group of new bookmarks and added
|
|
to the bottom of your bookmarks list. If you have designated a new bookmark
|
|
folder, the imported bookmarks are added to that folder.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Importing a bookmarks file imports the bookmarks and
|
|
folders from that file. It does not create two bookmarks files.</p>
