摘要

A system and method for providing a predictive browser type-ahead that performs server queries of computer file directory listings in order to locate and present matching Universal Resources Locator (URL) extensions as the URL is entered into the browser. The predictive type-ahead provides matching URL entries into the browser for user selection. The predictive type-ahead also continually validates the browser entries as they are made.
