ABSTRACT:
A system and method for determining the relative distances from a plurality of hyperlinks 206 to a cursor 202 when a select button is depressed. The relative distances are compared and the hyperlink corresponding to the shortest distance has its function activated. If the distances are determined to be identical or if the distances are determined to be within a predetermined range of one another, the hyperlinks 206 are not activated. Instead, the user positions the cursor 202 such that it is relatively closer to one of the two or more relatively equidistant hyperlinks 206 and clicks again.
