Abstract
A page proxy manages representations of page information, such as Web page locations in the form of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), which are presented as Web page bookmarks. A proxy tool is provided by which a URL proxy for a Web page displayed in a browser, such the Netscape Navigator, may be readily manipulated by the use of any well known gestures, such as mouse-over and click and drag and drop (where a cursor is moved over the Web page proxy by use of a mouse, a button on the mouse is clicked to attach the proxy to the cursor, and the mouse is used to drag the proxy to a desired location, where it is then dropped by releasing the button on the mouse). The proxy tool operates in conjunction with a navigation aid that provides an organization view of destination locations and actions in the form of a drop down menu. The proxy tool may be a page proxy icon, which is located on a menu bar proximate to a Web page location field, and the navigation aid may be a drop down menu that includes hierarchically arranged contents, including multiple levels of sub-menus, and that also includes various actions, such as editing functions.
