Welcome to the Java_Browser wiki!

Current features

Search bar where you can search through the exact URL
Load button which loads the URL from the address bar
Progress bar which shows the progress regarding the loading of the page
The search will be carried out if the user presses enter
When the URL has finished loading, reset the progress bar back to null
When the user clicks the back arrow, it will bring them to the previous page
The user does not have to type in the exact URL, (i.e. http:// is automatically generated)
An error message is provided to the user if the URL is incorrect (currently redirects the user to a page on a local server)
