<p>A system and method provide a multimedia bookmark for a hypertext markup language file that has Universal Resource Locator (URL). A user wishing to later revisit a presently loaded and displayed HTML file requests the browser to store a bookmark. The browser scans the HTML file for a keyword. If the keyword is detected, the browser locates a description of the location of a multimedia bookmark data (MBD) file that is disposed at a predetermined position in the HTML file in relation to the keyword. The browser stores the MBD file with the URL as a multimedia bookmark. If the browser does not find a keyword, it scans the HTML document for TITLE information. If detected, the TITLE information is stored with the URL as a traditional, text-only bookmark. The user recalls his list of bookmarks to revisit the HTML file, and is presented with a set of multimedia bookmark representations (MBRs) generated from the stored MBDs, as well as text-only bookmarks. The browser may change the appearance of, animate, or present audio accompaniment to an MBR when the user places his cursor over or selects the MBR. Upon selecting a MBR or text-only bookmark, the browser loads and displays the HTML file at the associated URL. <IMAGE></p> |
