A user interface enables the display of browser information in a space conserving fashion. A plurality of icons may be displayed along a bar adjacent a browser display window. When an icon is selected, an appropriate panel may be displayed. A uniform resource locator text entry block may only be displayed when an appropriate icon is selected. Thus the extra space that is lost through the display of the text entry block is only encountered when the user actually needs to make a uniform resource locator text entry.

Conserving space on browser user interfaces

A system for controlling the display of pop-up windows in web browsers intercepts a request to display a pop-up window and instead may display a dialog box asking the user to indicate whether the user wishes to display the pop-up window. The dialog box may extract information from the pop-up window to give the user some indication of what the pop-up window is about. The user may then control whether the pop-up window is displayed or not.

Controlling the display of pup-up web browser windows

A scroll device may be provided on a processor-based system to simultaneously scroll both of at least two frames in two separate windows. Thus, each frame is scrolled until a first frame reaches its beginning or end. At that point, the scrolling of the first frame stops automatically while the other frame continues to scroll.
