This describes the basic settings for NetFront.

When animated images are selected to display, images are automatically set to display also. Images only can be checked, but animation cannot be selected on its own. |
2. Advanced |
Sets whether to apply tables, style sheets (CSS), and JavaScript. To apply them, check the box. By the initial default setting, they are enabled ("ON"). |
3. Cookie |
Select "Accept", "Never Accept", or "Prompt". The initial default setting is "Accept". If you set "Prompt", a dialog is displayed asking whether to accept or not accept it, every time you receive a Cookie. Selecting "Accept" or "Never Accept" displays no dialog.
Cookie is a function for conveniently browsing Webpages. Reference "What is Cookie?"

4. Cache |
The Cache is the memory space used by NetFront to temporarily save Webpage content. This setting sets the memory size for the Cache.
Tap the icon for the Cache to display the pull-down menu with "Disable", "300KB", "600KB", "900KB", "1200KB", and "1500KB". Select the memory size from these six options. A smaller Cache size means fewer Webpages can be saved on NetFront, so you have to connect to the network more frequently to download Webpages. The initial default size is "300KB". |
Tip
When you open a Webpage using a bookmark and the Webpage content is saved in the Cache, the content in the Cache is displayed. To display the latest Webpage content, tap the [Refresh] icon ().
The administrating server of Webpage sends a file called "Cookie" to NetFront, if the server supports Cookies. Cookie contains information such as user data to identify each user.
