Click-Through

Introducing the New Click-Through!

At RocketOn, we love the web. We love browsing, and we do it all day, every day, twenty-six hours a day, eight days a week. That’s how much we love the web. We also love having RocketOn open and the ability to bring our avatars along to play and chat throughout the day. Which is why we’ve improved Click-Through, and made it easier to use and more robust.

What is Click-Through?

If you’re new to RocketOn, Click-Through is the ability to click on links, expandable menus, text entry fields, and other interactive elements of pages while you have RocketOn fully open and your avatar walking about. Normally, while you have RocketOn open, you’ll be able to walk anywhere you click. With Click-Through, you can click on links as well! You can also click on buttons and text fields.

For example, on Google if you click in the search field, you'll be able to type in a word you want to search for and then press enter or Click-Through on the "Google Search" button. Depending on which browser you’re using, your mouse pointer will change into a hand or text-cursor, but if it doesn’t, there is no need to worry. Your regular pointer will still Click-Through just fine, and you’ll be able to type, check boxes, and select things from drop down menus as normal.

Getting Click-Through to Work:

There are some very limited cases where Click-Through may have problems with the content of a particular website, such as expanding menus. Usually if you wait just a moment, these problems will clear up and you’ll be able to Click-Through normally.

We're constantly improving Click-Through and increasing its compatibility with all the different kinds of features and content, but if something doesn't work, just minimize RocketOn (click on the rocket logo in the lower left-hand corner of your screen) and then click on whatever you wanted to click on. You can open RocketOn again (just click the Rocket Icon) and continue to use RocketOn normally.

How do I get Click-Through?

If you downloaded the full version of RocketOn (which is free!) then you already have it. Just try clicking on links using the technique described above. If you're using the demo-version, you can get click-through by downloading the full version of RocketOn.
