ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for processing a hypertext markup language (HTML) source file stored in a server processor. The processing is performed by a browser program in a client processor. The server processor and client may communicate with each other across a communications network, which may be the Internet. The HTML source file may define a web page in the worldwide web. The browser, in the client processor, processes the source file to generate an output display. A region within the output display is selected using a pointing device, such as a mouse, track ball, or the like. The region includes less than the whole output display. The region includes information, which may include text, a list, a table, or a graphic. Information that is displayed within the region is identified by the client processor. The client processor identifies a portion of the source file from which the information displayed within the region is generated. The portion is less than the whole source file. The identification includes a search for matching text in the region and in the portion of the source file. The HTML tags in the source file are examined to determine whether they are the appropriate tags to generate the information in the region. The identified portion of the source file is output by the client processor.
