Entering Text on Web Pages

Text entry pages are those on which you can enter data, for example, a name, a Web address (URL), or other identifying information. A set of square brackets , possibly with text in between, identifies a page’s text entry areas.

  1. To enter data, first press the Line/Feature button to the left of the line on which you want to enter text.

Four new softkeys display: Done, Bksp, and Space, with the fourth softkey labeled “alpha” by default. This softkey is called the Mode softkey because it changes the mode of text being entered. Any reference in this manual to the “Mode softkey” refers to the fourth softkey when entering text on Web pages.

  1. Use the dialpad to enter text. Use the softkey functions to facilitate your entry, as described below.
