Radio station buttons

摘要

Methods and a data structure for assigning URLs (e.g., to radio-station-streaming-media-content sources) to graphical objects (such as buttons) are disclosed. Zip codes are used to identify and assign geographically relevant URLs to buttons. A graphical user interface enables a user to select from a plurality of radio buttons and menu entries in order to identify search results satisfying the user's selection criteria. Information identifying a user's button assignments or preferences (such as the user's zip code) is stored in various data fields in a cookie data structure. The computer-executable instructions use the information contained in the data structure in order to assign the URL to the button each time the Web page is displayed.
