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.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the non-transitory memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
- cause, after an access to a server, display of a first set of one or more representations of a first set of one or more hyperlinks in connection with a web page that includes a second set of one or more representations of a second set of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page, wherein the second set of one or more representations are initially hidden, and the second set of one or more representations take the form of hypertext including one or more textual representations of one or more hyperlinks;
- allow receipt of a first input from a user indicating a selection of one of the first set of representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks;
- cause, in response to receiving the first input from the user indicating the selection of one of the first set of representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks, a substantially immediate display of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page such that the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks are displayed in a menu in a same window as a corresponding one of the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks, and at least partially below the corresponding one of the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks;
- allow receipt of a second input from the user;
- cause, in response to receiving the second input, a visual emphasis of at least a portion of the web page;
- allow receipt of a third input from the user indicating a selection of one of the second set of representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks;
- and
- cause, in response to receiving the third input from the user indicating the selection of one of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks, navigation to a destination corresponding to the selected one of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks;
- wherein both the display of the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks and the display of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page, are performed without requiring an additional access to the server.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the non-transitory memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
- cause, after an access to a server, display of a first set of one or more representations of one or more menu items in connection with a web page that includes a second set of one or more representations of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page, wherein the second set of one or more representations are initially hidden, and the second set of one or more representations take the form of non-AJAX elements including one or more textual representations of one or more hyperlinks;
- allow receipt of a first input from a user indicating a selection of one of the first set of representations of the one or more menu items;
- cause, in response to receiving the first input from the user indicating the selection of one of the first set of representations of the one or more menu items, an immediate display of the second set of one or more representations of the one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page such that the second set of one or more representations of the one or more hyperlinks are displayed in a menu in a same window as a corresponding one of the first set of one or more representations of the one or more menu items, and at least partially adjacent to the corresponding one of the first set of one or more representations of the one or more menu items;
- allow receipt of a second input from the user indicating a selection of one of the second set of representations of the one or more hyperlinks;
- and
- cause, in response to receiving the second input from the user indicating the selection of one of the second set of one or more representations of the one or more hyperlinks, navigation to a destination corresponding to the selected one of the second set of one or more representations of the one or more hyperlinks;
- wherein both the display of the first set of one or more representations of the one or more menu items and the display of the second set of one or more representations of the one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page, are performed without requiring an additional access to the server.
A method comprising:
- generating content for use in populating a web page that, when downloaded, performs the following:
- displaying, in response to an access to a server, a first set of one or more representations of a first set of one or more hyperlinks in connection with a web page that includes a second set of one or more representations of a second set of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page, wherein the second set of one or more representations are hidden when the displaying of the first set of one or more representations occurs, and the second set of one or more representations take the form of hypertext including one or more textual representations of one or more hyperlinks;
- receiving a first input from a user indicating a selection of one of the first set of representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks;
- in response to receiving the first input from the user indicating the selection of one of the first set of representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks, displaying, immediately, the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page such that the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks are displayed in a menu in a same window as a corresponding one of the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks, and at least partially below the corresponding one of the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks;
- receiving a second input from the user;
- in response to receiving the second input, visually emphasizing at least a portion of the web page;
- receiving a third input from the user indicating a selection of one of the second set of representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks;
- and
- in response to receiving the third input from the user indicating the selection of one of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks, navigate to a destination corresponding to the selected one of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks;
- wherein both the display of the first set of one or more representations of the first set of one or more hyperlinks and the display of the second set of one or more representations of the second set of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page, are performed without requiring an additional access to the server.
A method comprising:
- generating content for use in populating a web page that, when downloaded, performs the following:
- displaying, after a first access to a server, a first set of one or more representations of one or more menu items in connection with a web page that includes a second set of one or more representations of one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page, wherein the second set of one or more representations are hidden without particular user input in connection therewith, and the second set of one or more representations include non-AJAX hypertext including one or more textual representations associated with the one or more hyperlinks;
- receiving a first input from a user indicating a selection of one of the first set of representations of the one or more menu items;
- in response to receiving the first input from the user indicating the selection of one of the first set of representations of the one or more menu items, displaying, immediately, the second set of one or more representations of the one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page such that the second set of one or more representations of the one or more hyperlinks are displayed in a menu in a same window as a corresponding one of the first set of one or more representations of the one or more menu items, and at least partially adjacent to the corresponding one of the first set of one or more representations of the one or more menu items;
- receiving a second input from the user indicating a selection of one of the second set of representations of the one or more hyperlinks;
- and
- in response to receiving the second input from the user indicating the selection of one of the second set of one or more representations of the one or more hyperlinks, navigate to a destination corresponding to the selected one of the second set of one or more representations of the one or more hyperlinks;
- wherein both the display of the first set of one or more representations of the one or more menu items and the display of the second set of one or more representations of the one or more hyperlinks that are pre-downloaded with the web page, are performed without requiring a second access to the server after the first access to the server.
