ABSTRACT:
A computer system and method of displaying hypertext documents indicate an update status for a particular hypertext document in association with the display of a hypertext link definition pointing to that document. In addition, one or more specific notification criteria are utilized to determine when a document has been updated. A notification criteria may be based upon a user selection of a selected portion of a document, such that changes to another portion of the document do not trigger an indication of an updated document. A notification criteria may also be based on a specific keyword search criteria selected by a user. A notification criteria may further be based on a relative change threshold for a document, such that changes to a document falling below the threshold are not indicated to a user. In addition, a notification criteria function may be based upon updates made by a particular author of a document, such that specific authors may either trigger or not trigger notification of an updated document.
