Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of displaying a hypertext document on a computer display, the hypertext document including an internal hypertext link definition linked to a predetermined location therein, the method comprising: (a) determining that the internal hypertext link definition is for an internal hypertext link that is linked to the same hypertext document rather than an external hypertext link that is linked to a different hypertext document; (b) displaying the internal hypertext link definition on the computer display; and (c) in response to determining that the internal hypertext link definition is for an internal hypertext link, indicating in association with the internal hypertext link definition the internal status of the internal hypertext link definition to distinguish the internal hypertext link definition from an external hypertext link definition; wherein the hypertext document is a first hypertext document, the first hypertext document further including an external hypertext link definition linked to a second hypertext document, wherein the method further comprises displaying the external hypertext link definition on the computer display in a first representation, wherein indicating the internal status of the internal hypertext link definition includes displaying the internal hypertext link definition in a second representation that is visually distinct from the first representation to thereby simplify recognition of an external/internal status of each hypertext link definition, and wherein one of the first and second representations includes an icon.
