Abstract:
1. A method for providing an index to linked sites on a web page comprising the steps of: (a) parsing the code of the web page to identify all anchor tag pairs and image map tag pairs in the page; (b) storing at least one first attribute value defined within each of the anchor tag pairs and image map tag pairs to an index file; (c) determining a source of the at least one first attribute value; (d) determining if there is a link text string associated with the first attribute value if the source of the at least one first attribute value is an anchor tag pair; (e) storing the link text string in the index file with its associated at least one first attribute value if there is an associated link text string; (f) linking to a page URL defined by the at least one first attribute value and parsing the code of that page for a title tag if it was determined in step (d) that there is no associated link text string; (g) storing the value of the title tag in the index file with its associated at least one first attribute; and (h) creating a second web page based upon the contents of the index file.
