Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for causing display of a first set of representations of a first set of hyperlinks. In operation, a first input from a user is received indicating a selection of one of the first set of hyperlink representations and causes, in response to receiving the first input, display of a second set of representations of a second set of hyperlinks. Further, a second input from the user is received indicating a selection of one of the second set of hyperlink representations, and causes, in response to receiving the second input, navigation to a destination specified by the selected one of the second set of hyperlink representations.

- cause display of the set of one or more representations of one or more menu items of the web page without any images being used in the display of the set of one or more representations of one or more menu items in connection with the web page, and with the set of one or more representations of one or more hyperlinks being initially hidden and taking the form of hypertext including one or more textual representations of one or more hyperlinks,
- allow receipt of a first input, in the form of hovering, that indicates a selection of one of the set of one or more representations of one or more menu items, the receipt of the first input being implemented without Asynchronous-JavaScript-and-XML (AJAX),
- cause, in response to receipt of the first input indicating the selection of the one of the set of one or more representations of one or more menu items, display of the set of one or more representations of one or more hyperlinks, such that the set of one or more representations of one or more hyperlinks is displayed in a menu in a same window as the one of the set of one or more representations of one or more menu items, and at least partially below the one of the set of one or more representations of one or more menu items,
- allow receipt of a second input that indicates a selection of one of the set of one or more representations of one or more hyperlinks, and
- cause, in response to receipt of the second input indicating the selection of the one of the set of one or more representations of one or more hyperlinks, navigation to a destination corresponding to the one of the set of one or more representations of one or more hyperlinks, for causing display of at least a portion of content associated with the destination simultaneously with another instance of the set of one or more representations of one or more menu items, so as to allow review of the another instance of the set of one or more representations of one or more menu items and review of another instance of the set of one or more representations of one or more hyperlinks while the at least portion of content is simultaneously displayed, for use in causing additional navigation to at least one additional destination and display of at least a portion of additional content which is simultaneously displayed with yet another instance of the set of one or more representations of one or more menu items;
