# Welcome to webOnEx

webOnEx is an Exhibition mode application – this means that when you run the app by tapping on the app icon, it does nothing but show this screen. Read the details below to learn how to use the application.

## Getting Started

webOnEx can only be used in Exhibition mode.

- There are two ways to enable Exhibition mode – you can either put your tablet on a Touchstone dock or go to the Settings menu and tap on Exhibition. This will bring up the Exhibition mode settings.
- In Exhibition mode settings, tick the box next to webOnEx.
- Once you go into Exhibition mode, select webOnEx from the menu on the top left.
- Type in a URL that you want to go to and press ENTER to load the website.
- If you want the page to be automatically refreshed, select a refresh time from the menu on the right of the URL bar. The page will be automatically reloaded so that you can always see the most recent content.

## Menus and Options

The main menu bar on top allows access to the main features. This is shown below.

A second menu can be accessed by swiping in from the left or right of the screen.

If you are using LunaCE, the swipe will not work for you. In that case, tap very close to the left or right edge to bring up the side menu.

The side menu and its commands are shown in the picture below.

## Sites to Try

Of course, webOnEx will let you go to any site that you want, but here are just a few ideas

- Facebook – www.facebook.com – once you log in, tap on the Facebook icon on the top left before you enable the auto-reload.
- BBC News – news.bbc.co.uk – keep an eye on the news with the page refreshing every 5 or 10 minutes.
- Twitter – just find a busy channel you’re following and set it to reload every 2 minutes.
- Live Blogging – if you are following a live event (like the launch of the Touchpad), just connect to the site and leave it running on Exhibition (most live blog sites refresh automatically, so don’t set any refresh in webOnEx)
- Sports – if you’re following the commentary for a sport online, just log on to the site and leave it on (most live sports sites refresh automatically, so don’t set any refresh in webOnEx)

## Finally…

A few final notes:

- This app builds on sample code from HP and also uses code from the ThumbNav browser patch - see: http://forum.webosroundup.com/index.php?threads/touchpad-thumbnav-browser-controls.907/
