ABSTRACT:
An improved method and apparatus are provided for displaying links on a user display interface in a computer system. A document is parsed to identify links. The identified links are checked to identify intradocument links. The identified intradocument links are displayed in a first presentation style. Other links are displayed in a second presentation style. In accordance with a feature of the invention, the visual cues provided by the distinct presentation styles for intradocument links and interdocument links assist computer users in navigating documents.
