Tools Menu
Several features of iCab are now accessible through the Tools menu.
There are also some new features like the Filter Manager and the
Cookie Manager.
- Cookie Manager
- The Cookie Manager lists all cookies and can be used to sort, reorder and delete cookies
and to inspect all the cookie details.
- Link Manager
- The link manager is a window with two parts. On the left side of the link all links of a web
site will be listed. Opening one of these links will load the page on the right side of the window.
- Download Manager
- The Download Manager is used to manage downloads of files or whole web sites.
- Filter Manager
- The Filter Manager does allow you to filter out certain images (like advertising banners),
Java applets, Plug-ins content and JavaScript code. It can be also used to define certain
configurations for web pages, to set all those preferences which may need a special setting.
For example some web pages do block browsers which are not recognized as Netscape or Internet
Explorer. With the filter manager you can make sure that iCab will identify itself as
Internet Explorer on these sites, but will still identify itself as "iCab" on all other
sites.
- Error Report
- The error report lists all errors in the HTML code of the current web page. This feature is especially useful for web designers.
- Script Debugger
- The Script Debugger can be used to debug JavaScript code. This feature is especially useful for web designers.
- Console
- All error messages and status messages of Java applets and JavaScript code will be displayed in the Console.
- Kiosk Mode
- The kiosk mode is a special mode for kiosk environments where the Mac is located at a public location (for
example a hotel lobby, an exhibition etc.) and therefore some kind of protection is necessary.
