1. A client terminal comprising:
- a browser module, implemented by one or more processors, operable to access a webpage including content, and display the webpage on a display module of the client terminal; and
a grid control module, implemented by the one or more processors, operable toreceive a user specification of a grid view option,generate a grid and display the grid on the display module, the grid being superimposed over the content of the webpage, wherein the grid includes plural horizontal lines connected to a vertical axis and plural vertical lines connected to a horizontal axis, the horizontal and vertical axes including plural alphanumeric indicia that each identify a grid cell of the grid bounded by at least two of the lines,receive a user selection of one or more of the indicia, andchange a transparency factor of each grid cell of the grid other than a first grid cell of the grid identified by the user selected indicia.

6. A server apparatus comprising:
-
a webpage host module, implemented by one or more processors, operable to host a webpage including content, the webpage being accessible by a browser module of a client terminal and displayable by a display module of the client terminal; and a grid control module, implemented by the one or more processors, operable to receive a user specification of a grid view option from the client terminal, generate a grid and cause the grid to be displayed on the display module of the client terminal, the grid being superimposed over the content of the webpage, wherein the grid includes plural horizontal lines connected to a vertical axis and plural vertical lines connected to a horizontal axis, the horizontal and vertical axes including plural alphanumeric indicia that each identify a grid cell of the grid bounded by at least two of the lines, receive user specification of a line distance factor, and adjust a distance between each of the horizontal lines and a distance between each of the vertical lines based on the user specified line distance factor. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method performed by a client terminal comprising:
-
accessing a webpage including content, and displaying the webpage on a display module of the client terminal; receiving a user specification of a grid view option; generating a grid and displaying the grid on the display module, the grid being superimposed over the content of the webpage, wherein the grid includes plural horizontal lines connected to a vertical axis and plural vertical lines connected to a horizontal axis, the horizontal and vertical axes including plural alphanumeric indicia that each identify a grid cell of the grid bounded by at least two of the lines; determining a display resolution of the display module; and adjusting the lines of the grid, based on the display resolution of the display module. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
