ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and computer display device that uses a hierarchical menu structure to enable a user navigate through a linked web-page system. A computer code and a display screen of the computer display device enables the user to navigate through the linked web-page system in accordance with the hierarchical menu structure and in accordance with supporting features such as navigational persistence and page content persistence. The display screen comprises a display of: an uppermost top-level of the linked web-page system; a list of top-level categories under the uppermost top-level; a list of sub-level categories linked to a user-selected top-level category; a list of menu items held by each sub-level category; and a web page linked from a user-selected menu item from the menu items held by a sub-level category.
