ABSTRACT:
In a computer employing a graphical user interface (GUI), a web browser displays a drop down menu bar, an address bar, and a links bar. Each button on the links bar has a customizable title and an associated URL. When the user clicks on a button, the browser is pointed directly to the URL associated with the button. The user may alter the title and URL associated with each button by dragging a GUI link element (e.g., a graphic or text representing a hypertext link) onto the links bar button. The browser determines the characteristics associated with the dropped GUI element and replaces the button's characteristics with those of the dropped object. This allows the characteristics of the button to be altered by direct on-screen manipulation of the affected GUI object, instead of requiring use of a separate dialog box or other interface.
