Abstract
A user interface enables the display of browser information in a space conserving fashion. A plurality of icons may be displayed along a bar adjacent a browser display window. When an icon is selected, an appropriate panel may be displayed. A uniform resource locator text entry block may only be displayed when an appropriate icon is selected. Thus the extra space that is lost through the display of the text entry block is only encountered when the user actually needs to make a uniform resource locator text entry.
