ABSTRACT:
A computer system, user interface component and method utilize a non-linear scroll bar to provide variable mappings between a scroll bar and different portions of a document, and/or between a scroll bar and different subranges of a range of values selectable by the scroll bar. As a result, a scroll bar may be configured to vary the relative scroll rate of a portion of a document to either emphasize or de-emphasize that portion relative to other portions of the document. Generally, emphasized portions of a document are allocated a relatively larger portion of a scroll bar (i.e., with a relatively lower scroll rate), such that navigation to and within such portions is facilitated relative to other portions of the document.
