1. A method for annotating a Web-based document with annotation client software and for viewing the annotated document, comprising:

  • generating annotation data by processing user input provided to the annotation client software by a user of the annotation client software;

    associating the annotation data with the Web-based document to create the annotated document, the Web-based document being displayed via a Web browser;

    providing the annotated document to an annotation server;

    generating, with the annotation server, a graphic data file corresponding to a visual layout of the annotation data;

    retrieving the annotated document from the annotation server in response to a user request, wherein the annotated document is generated for retrieval as a function of the Web-based document and the associated annotation data byenclosing the annotated document inside a fixed-sized layer of the Web browser,examining each element of the annotated document to detect particular properties which may cause the element to move relative to a predetermined corner of the annotated document during resizing of the annotated document, andmodifying the particular properties such that movement of the elements is prevented during resizing of the annotated document; and

    receiving user input for performing a desired action upon the annotated document, includingreceiving, via an input device, a predetermined gesture from the user, to be applied to the annotated document,determining at least one command for performing a desired action corresponding to the predetermined gesture, andexecuting the at least one command to perform the desired action upon the annotated document.
