Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium for allowing easier access to the Web pages of a Web site is provided. A requested Web page that includes a menu is downloaded along with a first executable component comprising display instructions assigned the Web site. A second executable component is also downloaded with the Web page for creating a data structure in memory having a tree-like structure and including the titles of the Web site's Web pages and links to the titled Web pages. A portion of a cascading menu is generated based on the executable component and the data structure when a corresponding portion of the menu is selected. The executable components are automatically updated, if it is determined that more current versions exist.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-readable medium for allowing easier access of web pages of a web site is provided. A requested web page is downloaded with a site browser and datafile assigned the web site. The site browser includes a version identifier and the datafile includes a timestamp. A set of left-to-right cascading menus are generated based on the downloaded site browser and datafile. The datafile is a hierarchical data structure comprising titles of the web site's web pages and links to the titled web pages. The site browser and datafile are automatically updated, if it is determined that more current versions exist.

Abstract: A technique for generating a unique record index for a collection of data records. A parent index is generated and attached to a parent data record, and serves as the record index. When a child data record is generated, a child index is generated and is appended to its parent index, and the combination is the record index for that child data record. The record index allows a collection of data records to be sorted and displayed efficiently according to their logical position in a collection. The technique finds application in an electronic mail messaging system, wherein a conversation index is generated for each electronic message.
