Abstract
A graphical user interface includes a scrollbar located centrally between two panes displaying interactive content. Moving the scrollbar causes movement of the content in both panes to scroll. The panes include additional content regions (represented, for example, by an image or color) located near the scrollbar. Selecting one of the additional content regions, such as by holding a mouse cursor over it, causes additional content to be displayed. The additional content may include links and an additional scrollbar for scrolling within the additional content.
