ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus that allows a Web page designer to specify that an audio file linked to a Web page should be prefetched before user input is accepted. Web browser software prefetches the audio file if there is enough room in a temporary memory to store the file. The invention also allows a Web page designer to specify the text over which the user must place the cursor to play the audio file. When the temporary memory is full and an audio file needs to be prefetched, the browser deletes files from the temporary memory until there is enough room in the temporary memory for the prefetched audio file. Files are deleted in a least-recently-referenced, first-out order.
