Abstract
A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer usable code are provided for splitting a screen in a Web browser window. User input is received requesting splitting of the screen in the Web browser window. A position for a split in the screen is identified. The screen is split at the position to form a set of screens in the Web browser window. An instance of a document is displayed in each screen within the set of screens, wherein each instance of the document is manipulated independently of another instance of the document.
