People generally forward Web pages with their Internet browsers. The two most common browsers are Firefox and Internet Explorer. You don't necessarily need to have an active Internet connection to forward various Web pages. Know the difference between operating systems like Windows XP and Vista to forward Web pages effectively.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

    Forward Web pages

  1. Step 1

    Find your File menu. Both Windows XP and Vista have a File menu located at the uppermost portion of any Web page. Click on File and locate the word "Send," "Send Page," or "Send link." Choose the one you want.

  2. Step 2

    Your e-mail system will enable a new pop-up window after you click on one of your File menu choices. You'll need to click on the Tools menu and then pick a contact by clicking on "Select Recipient." In most cases, an address list will automatically appear. If someone has forwarded Web pages to you already, you can follow suit by simply clicking your e-mail forwarding. "Forward" is generally located right next to the word "Reply." Some e-mails require people to click on a drop-down menu first.

  3. Step 3

    Go to Internet Options and pick an e-mail default. Forward Web pages much more quickly by telling your computer which e-mail systems to use. Do this by opening Internet Options from the Control Panel, located in the Start Menu. Find the "Programs" tab once you are there. Then click on the "Internet Programs" button and set your defaults.

  4. Step 4

    Place a forward input button and link into the Web page itself. Forward Web pages by placing JavaScript code inside the page you want to send. Open any Web page with Notepad or WYSIWYG editor. Place the script within your open and closed head tags, but before your body markups, using curly brackets. A very basic script tags series should read as follows:

    "<script type="text/javascript">
    function goForward()
    {
    window.history.forward()
    }
    </script>."

    Next, you need to format the button in the body tag section of your source code. Write this code as:

    "<a href="mailto:hotmail.com">
    <input type="button" value="Forward" onclick="goForward()"></a>."

    Align your data in a column and be sure all tags are open and closed appropriately. You cannot forward Web pages properly with broken tags.

Tips & Warnings
  • Save the Web page with a mobile or USB storage device, then use another computer to forward Web pages later. Public libraries often have public computers for use.
  • Set your input button with an anchor tag. Be sure to use <a>, </a> as your open and closed tags. Other tags are most likely deprecated and will not work well.
