Address Bar and Go Button

The first screen that pops up when you open Internet Explorer is the homepage. The address bar takes you from the homepage to the other websites you wish to visit. If you click in the address bar, a cursor will appear and you can type in this space.

To enter a web address, there are a few guidelines that must be followed:

1. Do not worry about typing http://. Internet Explorer will enter this for you automatically.

2. The beginning of a web address starts with www followed by a period.

3. Enter in the title of the address followed by another period.

4. End with the correct suffix. Some examples of suffixes are .com, .net, .org, .gov, and .edu.

After entering the web address, you may either right click on the go button or press the enter key to begin the search.
