o advance 
 public void advance()
Advance the internal pointer to the next item. If there is no item left, nothing happens. As 'items' in this sense count only ordinary words or the link arguments of href. All special characters like \r\n\t \"=.,:;~`'!@#$%^*()[]{}|\\/^<> delimit words and therefore they are never contained in the WebItem returned by getCurrent. An exception is ';' if it marks the end of an encoded character like &uuml; and the page is in written in HTML.
