ABSTRACT:
Access to the Internet is provided using dynamic bookmarks. A first bookmark is stored in a browser in a computer system, the first bookmark referencing a web page at a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). A dynamic attribute for the first bookmark to keep it updated. When a change is detected in the web page data incorporated in the first bookmark, it is automatically updated by virtue of its dynamic attribute to reflect the change in web page data. The change in web page data can be detected during a request for the web page referenced by the first bookmark. If redirection of the request to a new URL is detected, the first bookmark is updated to the new URL. A new request for the web page is issued using the new URL. The change in web page data could alternatively be a change in the name of the web page. Setting the dynamic attribute is accomplished by the browser or at the server for a downloaded bookmark. In the preferred embodiment, the bookmark is a member of a bookmark set. The bookmark set can all have dynamic attributes, but may have member with static attributes which remain constant despite changes in web page data. A special case of a dynamic attribute is a temporary dynamic attribute which provides that the bookmark set remain resident only for the duration of a web site browsing session. The dynamic attribute of the bookmark can be overridden by a static browser preference selectable by the user so that all bookmarks remain static in the browser.
