Visual Preview for Link Traversal on the WWW
Overview A novice user of the World Wide Web is usually impressed about the vastness of information available. At a second glance the impression gradually turns into desperation when the user tries to actually find valuable information. The usual solution is to contact a search engine like Altavista or a web portal like Yahoo which usually work as a starting point for global navigation. This paper demonstrates a technique for augmenting current WWW browser implementations with features found in classical hypertext applications but unknown to the WWW community until now. An example implementation is shown using Netscape Navigator 4.x using JavaScript, dynamic HTML and Java. The implementation follows an architecture based on a proxy server which acts as a gateway between the net and the browsing client. Based on the detailed example, support for further features is discussed.
