The Document Inspector panel of WorldWideWeb
The document inspector panel
This panel allows you to see the
addresses of the current document,
and the documents to which it is
linked. You bring it up using the
Inspect item in the document menu.
It also allows you to open any document
by its WWW address. You can also
make links to documents given only
their address, without having to
load them.
The items on the inspector panel
are as follows.
Title field
This displays the title of the document
and allows you to edit it. The title
should be something which will be
understood out of context. It should
be up to 70 characters long, without
any newlines.
To cahnge the title, select the field
with the mouse, tpe in your new title,
and click on the "Set" button or
press RETURN. The stored file will
not be affected until you have saved
the document.
Address field
This gives for information the WWW
address of the document in the main
window. You can quote the document
in correspondence using this address.
After you have ued the "inspect selected
link" button, it gives the address
of the anchor which you have selected,
if any. This is just the document
address followed by a hash sign and
the anchor identifier.
You cannot edit this field, but you
can select it and copy from it.
Select some text in the main window
which is marked as an "anchor" and
click this button. The address of
that anchor is displayed in the "address"
field, and the address of any linked
anchor is displayed in the "Other
document" address section.
If you have the address of another
document in the "other document"
section of the panel, you can link
the selected text of the current
document to it without having to
load it first. This is useful if
the document is really big or currently
inaccessible for some reason.

This button copies the adderss of
the current document into the address
of the "other" document, so that
you can edit it to a similar address.
