Abstract
The present invention is a process for visually organizing multiple information and headings on a computer screen of a Web browser. A single file containing data and integrated headings is translated by a Web browser. Hypertext markup language is used to control the integrated headings determining which headings are scrollable or non-scrollable. Top and bottom headings are non-scrollable. Scrollable middle headings scroll with the data and replace top headings when they reach the top of the screen.

- a data file viewable by said web browser, said data file comprising integrated top, bottom, and middle headings for identifying data;
- scroll tags comprising hypertext markup language for locking said top headings in a top screen position;
- scroll tags comprising hypertext markup language for locking said bottom headings in a bottom screen position;
- and
- scroll tags comprising hypertext markup language for movably positioning said middle heading in an upward or downward direction between said top and bottom headings and locking said middle heading adjacent to said top heading or said bottom heading when said middle heading is positioned adjacent said top or bottom heading, respectively.
A process for visually organizing multiple information and headings on a computer screen of a web browser comprising:
