discloses displaying a hierarchical representation of the
identified links to thereby provide a quick overview of the
website. Next, we find that Nielsen teaches a method for
presenting an image map attributes in HTML based documents (see
abstract).
It is our view that one of ordinary skill in the art would
have duly recognized that the combined teaching of Roberts and
Nielsen does not amount to invention as set forth in
representative claim 1. Particularly, the ordinarily skilled
artisan would have readily been apprised of the fact that the
teachings of the combined references amount to, at best, a method
that parses an HTML file into anchor and image tags associated
therewith to thereby create an index file of said tags and
corresponding links, which are subsequently displayed
hierarchically in a second webpage. The ordinarily skilled
artisan would have readily recognized that the combined
references merely disclose a mechanism for associating links with
identified tags in an HTML document including the title tag. In
other words, the Roberts-Nielsen combination generates a link for
the title only if a corresponding tag was found in the HTML
document. However, the cited combination is silent about
generating a link for the title to be displayed in the index file
