Abstract: A display system displays web pages from web sites located on data communications networks such as the Internet network. The display system has display controls and a plurality of non-overlapping display areas. Each display area has independent display area controls and independently displays a web page. The display controls include a sizing control operable by a user to alter a size of all display areas simultaneously with one control action. The display system in an embodiment includes a browser software program to provide communications and display support. The browser software program is executed in only one instance to provide the support for the plurality of display areas. The display controls also include a designator control operable by a user to designate the number of the non-overlapping display areas to be displayed. The display controls also include a drag and drop control for universal reference locators.

Abstract: A display system having a display screen to display web pages accessible via a network is provided. The display system comprises a computer system structured to send requests for web pages via the network to a web site, and the computer system receives the web pages via the network. A display area displays the web pages received by the computer system. The display system includes display area controls that allow a user to select a characteristic of the web pages to display in the display area. User-specified settings associated with the displayed characteristic of the web pages are stored in a storage area for subsequent recall and automatic execution whenever a subsequent request for the web pages is sent to the network. The display area displays the user-selected characteristic of the web pages in response to these subsequent requests.
