Select this to restrict mapping to the first few levels of your site.

When checked PowerMapper will obey this protocol.

Note: We strongly recommend you keep this checked


Enter each blocked link on a new line. You can block out specific files, entire directories or particular file types.

<param name="url1" content="page1.html">

<param name="link2" content="page2.html">

</applet>


Check this box to let PowerMapper follow links in JavaScript code. For example,

// extracted from this JavaScript code

parent.bigframe.location.href = "bigframe1.htm";

}
