ABSTRACT:
A method for dynamically displaying a button on a monitor of a computer system having a graphical user interface is described. First, it is determined whether a mouse pointer is within an area of the monitor displaying text associated with a button, called a "selectable area." While the mouse pointer is within the selectable area, the button is displayed about the text without obscuring the text. Finally, if the user selects the button by clicking on the button while the button is displayed, a function associated with the text is executed.
