Abstract: A browser has a frames/no frames option. The browser dynamically transforms a page with frames into a page without frames by rewriting the control-tags in the page. The transformation process is reversible, so the browser can also transform a page without frames into a page with frames. In this way, the user can control whether displayed pages are shown with frames instead of the web-page designer being in control.

Abstract: A method and system for presenting only those confirmation messages that the user would like to see. In the preferred embodiment, a control program allows the user to specify categories of operations in a category list, to select which categories receive confirmation messages, and to select which categories of operations have deleted data sent to a recycle bin. In the preferred embodiment, a control program intercepts all confirmation messages and determines whether the operation that caused the confirmation message is in a category list. If the operation is in the category list, the control program automatically responds to the message based on the response listed in the category list, so that the user is free from needing to deal with the message. The control program also determines whether to send deleted data to the recycle bin based on an indicator in the category list.
