Abstract: A display button for a web page integrating both a graphic pictorial image with character based textual information (with link) into a single iconic button. By providing a graphic image within a display button, the present invention provides the advantages of a graphic icon, e.g., speed of location and user recognition as well as increased meaning. By providing a character based dynamic textual link, the present invention provides an iconic button whose information can be readily translated between various languages (e.g., Italian, English, French, German, etc.) without requiring the image to be redrawn using complex and time consuming means; e.g., using an artist and a drawing tool. Instead, translation can be accomplished using automatic word and/or phrase conversion. Preferably, the display button of the present invention is represented in a table structure within HTML.
