By entering a page's URL, Navigator can bring you the specified page just as if you had clicked on a link. Netscape will attempt to connect to the host specified in the URL, and if successful, will open the file specified. Watch the status bar at the bottom of the Netscape window to see what Netscape is up to. In addition, if you are waiting a long time it could be that the server is busy. Navigator automatically adds the necessary prefix to complete the URL search.
Navigator automatically adds the necessary pathname to complete the URL search.
As you type, Navigator checks for previously visited URL's that match the letters you have typed and, if a match is found, fills in the remainder of the letters. Also on Windows, the location field offers a pop-up menu to the right of the field. The menu contains up to 14 URLs of pages whose locations you've most recently typed into the field and viewed. Choosing a URL item from this menu brings the page to your screen again. The URLs are retained in the menu for each of your Navigator sessions.
