ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing click-once links is disclosed. Elision is used to automatically remove a URL and associated content from a web page as hyperlinks are selected, reducing previously visited material and providing visual feedback to a user. When a user selects an elision-enabled hyperlink, the hyperlink and its associated content are not displayed during subsequent displaying of the same web page. Web pages may be generated on the origin server and a browser client updates the content automatically. Click-once links may be flagged in an enclosing HTML source page through a combination of an indirection through a JavaScript function in an anchor and an additional HTML tag. Cookies may be used to record information about which links have been followed and to share such information with the origin server for use in subsequent page generation, or the browser may be adapted to perform elision without using cookies.
