Moving Between Web Pages
There
are several methods for moving between web pages on the internet.
There is the simple moving to the Address Bar and typing the name
of a website and hitting Enter method. If you do this and decided
that you need to go back a web page, you will need to hit a key such as
Backspace, or use the Alt left arrow key command. Another method
allows you to open multiple tabs or web pages at the same time, and
then use a key command to move between those web pages. If you
are on either Internet Explorer or Firefox, press and hold down the
Control key and hit the letter "t" one time to create a new tab (web
page). Move to the Address Bar for that page, and type in the web
address you want to go to. Hit the Enter key one time and you
will be taken to that web page. Now, you have two tabs or web
pages open, and are on the one you just went to. Press and hold
down the Control key and hit the Tab key one time and you are taken
back to the original page you were on. You can open many tabs or
web pages using this method, and quickly move between them using the
Control Tab key command. If you want to close just the tab or web
page you are on, but leave the others open, press and hold down the
Control key and hit the letter "w". That tab or web page will
close and you will be on one of the other tabs or web pages you have
open.
