markup language source selected for display for tags associated
with graphical elements and replacing each detected graphical
element (Column 4 lines 60-63, Column 5 lines 1-2) within the
selected markup language source portion with one of a plurality
of placeholders (Column 11 lines 23-26).

graphical image with a placeholder having a label corresponding to a button.
