Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for transferring advertisements and/or specific information over a network. A server may transmit an application that may comprise a Java applet to a client where the application may be configured to track and detect the user of the client focusing on a portion, i.e., a particular area or particular word(s), in a document. The application may determine if there are any components, e.g., terms, in the portion of the document focused by the user in a list of components that have an advertisement and/or specific information associated with the components. If there are any components in the list focused on by the user, then the application may map each of the identified components, e.g., terms, to a particular file storing an advertisement and/or specific information. The application may transmit a request to the server to transmit those particular file(s) identified to the client.
