The examples are organized into a hierarchy of two levels, as shown
in the Contents panel. If the table of contents is displayed, you can
tell where you are by looking for the highlighted item in the Contents.
If no item is highlighted, you are at the top level of the current module.
Netscape users will not see the highlighted text.
You can easily see what module you are in by looking at the location
indicator just above the Table of contents entries.
Computer hardware, software, and browser specifications are the same
as in our example Course
Requirements page.
The limitations of Web browsers limit how you can navigate the course.
- The Back command works on frames. Sometimes you will need to
click Back twice to get back where you came from.
- Bookmarks do not work reliably with a multi-frame document
like this.
