ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates acquiring data, which is presented within a web browser, for an application. During operation, the system receives a command from a user to acquire data from the web browser for the application. In response to the command, the system overlays a semi-transparent layer over at least a portion of the web browser, so that the data within the web browser is still visible to the user. The system also receives a drawing command, from the user, to draw a shape around an item of data within the web browser. In response to the drawing command, the system draws a shape around the item of data within the web browser, wherein the shape is drawn on the semi-transparent layer. Finally, the system acquires the item of data bounded by the shape for the application.
