Persistency control in an information browser
First Claim
1. A method for persistently displaying data in an information browser navigatable based at least in part on a request associated with a navigation operation definable in data loadable in the information browser or a navigation user-interface operable independent of the navigation operation, comprising:
- displaying first and second data in at least one display region of the information browser having installed therein a persistency control in the information browser, the persistency control configured to selectively prevent attempts to replace data identified as persistent within the information browser;
flagging the first data as persistent;
configuring the information browser to selectively update the display region responsive to requests to navigate the information browser away from displaying the first and second data;
receiving the request to navigate the browser away from displaying the first and second data and display new data in the display region; and
responsive to the request, persistently displaying the first data and replacing displaying the second data with displaying the new data.

Abstract
A method of persistently displaying data including displaying first and second data in a display region of an information browser where a persistency control has been installed in the information browser. The persistency control prevents attempts to replace data that has been flagged as persistent. The attempts to replace data are requests associated with a navigation operation definable in data loadable in the information browser.

-
receiving a first request identifying a first resource; receiving a second request identifying a second resource to which to navigate the information browser, the browser having installed therein a persistency control configured to selectively prevent attempts to replace data identified as persistent within the information browser; flagging the first resource as persistent; and configuring the information browser to persistently display the first resource in the information browser responsive to receiving the first request; wherein said persistence comprises continuing to display the first resource in the information browser after the information browser receives the second request. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
