Web browser method and system for backgrounding link access during slow link access times

摘要

Browser background extension methods and systems for web browsers include at least one client capable of contacting one or more servers—the client displaying a first hypertext document having one or more hypertext links as a second hypertext document located on the server. It is possible to background link access during a slow link access time in a computer network having an interface. First, an access parameter is associated with a hypertext link. Next, a hypertext link to the second hypertext document is selected in response to the user input. Thereafter, the access time is called in the active mode of the web browser so that the hypertext link accesses the second hypertext document in response to the selection. Next, if the access time proceeds at an access speed that is slower than the desired access rate, in response to subsequent user input, the link access in the active mode of the web browser is terminated and thereafter in the background mode as planned or appropriately. Continues.
