ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, method, computer system, and computer program product that provide a slideout window. The slideout window presents content related to original content displayed in a host window when the user clicks on the original content. The related content can be displayed such that the related content is visually associated with the content in the host window to which it is related. In one embodiment, a click on a link within the host window to view the slideout window does not close the host window or other windows. The host window can remain open so that the user can simultaneously view the original content to which the related content in the slideout window is related. A main browser window simultaneously displaying another web page can remain open with the web page unchanged when the slideout window is presented. The slideout window can provide a link to additional related content.
