Appeal No. 2006-2975
Application No. 09/794,742
Invention
Appellants’ invention relates generally to a method and a
computer readable medium containing program instructions for
providing an index to linked sites on a webpage. After the
program parses the codes in the webpage, it associates each
identified anchor tag pair and image tag pair with a
corresponding attribute value. Further, the program associates
each attribute value and corresponding anchor tag pair via a link
text string, and subsequently stores the link text string in an
index file. If, however, the program finds an attribute value
that is not associated with a text link string, it links the
attribute value to a page URL defined for a title tag for that
page before storing the title tag in the index file. Last, the
program creates a second webpage based upon the contents of the
index file.
Claim 1 is representative of the claimed invention and is
reproduced as follows:
1. A method for providing an index to linked sites on a
web page comprising the steps of:
(a) parsing the code of the web page to identify all
anchor tag pairs and image map tag pairs in the page;
(b) storing at least one first attribute value
defined within each of the anchor tag pairs and image map
tag pairs to an index file;
