1. A method of recording a navigational sequence, comprising:
- retrieving a browser from memory that causes display of a graphical user interface;
receiving a selection from a user of an icon in the graphical user interface to start recording a sequence of inputs to the browser;
entering a recording mode of operation for the browser in response to the selection of the icon;
receiving the sequence of inputs to the browser;
recording the sequence of inputs in the memory;
requesting a destination web page;
establishing a timer that begins counting down from receipt of the destination web page;
inferring navigation has ended in response to the timer elapsing without requesting another web page;
automatically stopping the recording of the sequence of inputs; and
exiting the recording mode of operation.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for recording a navigational sequence. A selection is received to record the navigational sequence to a destination web page. A browser application requests a sequence of uniform resource locators and downloads the destination web page. The browser application records the sequence of uniform resource locators. Another selection is received that stops recording the navigational sequence.

8. A system for recording a navigational sequence, comprising:
-
a processor; and memory storing a browser application that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising; receiving a selection from a user of an icon in a graphical user interface that starts recording a sequence of keyboard inputs to the browser application; entering a recording mode of operation for the browser application in response to the selection of the icon; receiving the sequence of keyboard inputs in a field of the graphical user interface; recording the sequence of keyboard inputs in the memory; requesting a destination web page; establishing a timer that begins counting down from receipt of the destination web page; inferring navigation has ended in response to the timer elapsing without requesting another web page; automatically stopping the recording of the sequence of keyboard inputs; and exiting the recording mode of operation. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A memory storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations for recording a navigational sequence, the operations comprising:
-
processing a browser application that causes display of a graphical user interface; receiving a selection from a user of an icon in the graphical user interface; entering a recording mode of operation for the browser application in response to the selection of the icon; starting recording a sequence of keyboard inputs to a field in the browser application; requesting a destination web page; establishing a timer that begins counting down from receipt of the destination web page; inferring navigation has ended in response to the timer elapsing without requesting another web page; automatically stopping the recording of the sequence of keyboard inputs; exiting the recording mode of operation in response to an inference that the navigation has ended; and generating an executable file that, when executed, navigates to the destination web page. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
