Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for annotating a system having a display for displaying a page having user selectable objects being intermixed with markup tags, said user selectable objects and said markup tags being stored in a non-modifiable portion of a file, said mark-up tags bounding said user selectable objects in said file, comprising the steps of: receiving user input for a selection of an object of said user selectable objects on the displayed page; receiving user input for providing an annotation associated with said selected object; said annotation being modifiable; determining a position of the selected object in the non-modifiable portion of the file regardless of said markup tags bounding said selected object; storing the position and the annotation separately from the non-modifiable portion of the file; and providing a portion of said display configured for navigating to the previously selected object based on said position, when said annotation is subsequently selected.
