Abstract: An initial point within a browser interface corresponding to a displayed pointer location can be identified. A terminal point within the browser interface corresponding to a final position of the pointer can also be identified. A selection region can be defined by these points, where the initial point and the terminal point are diagonally opposing corners of the selection region. A set of browser elements (e.g., HTML elements) can be searched for elements that are defined by the selection region to produce a set of resulting browser elements. The set of resulting browser elements can be marked as having been selected by a user. Thus, a user can use a definable rectangular region to select a set of browser elements.
