WebMaster Help

INTRODUCTION

WebMaster is a utility for manipulating InternetExplorer (IE) and storing and using URLs.

Specifically, WebMaster is designed to automatically refresh URLs, automatically increment URLs, and store URLs for repeated use. The automatic processes in WebMaster can provide for easy, "hands-free" surfing of specific types of URLs, like those found on web sites specializing in thumbnail pictures.

CHANGE URL TAB

URL Displays the current URL. By selecting a portion of the URL (specifically, a number or part of a number as shown above) you can then have WebMaster automatically change the value and navigate to the new URL. In the example above, the “1” would be incremented by a value of 1, every 5 seconds.

Increment… Select this option to increment the selected portion of the URL when changed. For example, “1.jpg” would be changed to “2.jpg”.

Decrement… Select this option to decrement the selected portion of the URL when changed. For example, “2.jpg” would be changed to “1.jpg”.

By: Enter a number used for the Increment or Decrement.

Refresh… Select this option to refresh the URL only without making any changes (do not increment or decrement). Use this option if you are watching an eBay auction, for example.
