Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the operability of a Web browser by display of a tabbed HTML page at the forefront with tab clicking of overlaid plural tabbed HTML pages. SOLUTION: When a user submits requests for URLs or CGI scripts from a Web browser of a client 110, they are sent to a Web server 102 via a network 104. If the Web server 102 sends HTML pages or data to the client 110 through the network 104, the Web browser of the client 110 displays the received HTML page at the forefront as an active tabbed HTML page or changes the display of the active HTML page based on the received data.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an HTML page display system, an HTML page display method, and a recording medium, and more particularly, to an HTML page displaying a tabbed HTML page.
TML page display system, HTML page display method,
And a recording medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-76074 discloses a technique relating to display of an HTML page.
There is the technology described. This technique displays a tabbed screen of the tracking system in a web browser frame, where the tabs can be selected in the tracking tree frame to access different features of the tracking system. For example, selecting the administration tab allows a user to access the administration functions of the web-based browser application and configure the application. Also, selecting the log tab allows the user to access the log function of the web-based browser application to view log entries for collection activity, errors, and alerts.

[0003]

A problem with the above-mentioned prior art is that the operability of a web browser is not improved for ordinary users.

[0004] The reason is that only the tracking system is displayed with tabs, and ordinary HTML pages are not displayed with tabs.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-tabbed HTML.
The operability of a web browser can be improved by displaying pages in a superimposed manner and displaying a tabbed HTML page in the foreground by clicking a tab.

[0006]

FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating display of an ML page. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the display of the ratio of the tabbed HTML page. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a divided display of a tabbed HTML page.

When a user uses a web browser to display an HTML page from the client 110, a request for a URL or a CGI script of the web server 102 is issued. A request for a URL or CGI script is sent over the network 104 and received by the web server 102, where a request for an HTML page is received or the requested CGI script is stored in the memory 12
8 is loaded.

Next, the web server 102 finds the HTML page, or the CGI script retrieves or changes data from the data storage device 122.

Next, the HTML page or data retrieved or modified from the data storage device 122 and formatted in HTML format is returned to the client 110 via the network 104 and the graphics
It is displayed on the display 118.

Specifically, the user of client 110 loads a web browser and establishes a connection to network 104 via network 104. The connection is based on TCP / IP (TransmissionCon
control Protocol / Internet Pr
otocol), or any other suitable communication protocol. The user then requests the URL of a web browser-based application running on web server 102 from the web browser of client 110.

The web server software is constantly involved in requests from the network 104, and upon request, finds the requested HTML page and returns it to the client 110 via the network 104.

The web browser of the client 110 is
As shown in FIG.
A plurality of HTML pages with tabs are superimposed on 8 and displayed.
By clicking this tab, a desired tabbed HTML page can be displayed on the front. Also,
The tabbed HTML page displayed on the front is managed as an active tabbed HTML page.

When the user enters a different UR from the web browser
L or click on the tabbed HTML page link currently displayed on the front
L or a request for the CGI script of the web server 102 is issued. The request for the URL or CGI script is sent over the network 104,
Received by the web server 102 where the HTM
Request for L page is received or requested CG
The I-script is loaded from the storage device 122 to the memory 128.

Next, the web server 102 finds the HTML page, or the CGI script retrieves or changes data from the data storage device 122.

Next, the HTML page or data retrieved or modified from the data storage device 122 and formatted into HTML is returned to the client 110 via the network 104, and the corresponding tabbed HTML page is brought to the front. Is done. At this time, until the HTML page with tabs is completely displayed, the tabs shown in FIG.
Displays the percentage of TML pages.

Further, the tabbed HTML page received by the web browser of the client 110 is held in a buffer in the web browser.

The graphics display 11
It is possible to divide the tabbed HTML page displayed on the screen 8 above into a plurality of screens and display it.

As shown in FIG. 5, the user selects <Move (G)>, <Division (D)>, <
When the vertical division (L)> or <horizontal division (S)> is selected, the web browser takes out all the tabbed HTML pages existing in the buffer and displays them in the foreground with the same area.

Next, the operation will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the first embodiment of the present invention relates to a first embodiment in which (a) the web browser of the client 110 displays a tabbed HTML page set as an initial value as an active tabbed HTML page.
