Data is configured and displayed on an interactive display screen of an electronic display device. A page of content is displayed on the interactive display screen. A designated portion of a displayed page is assigned as a thumbnail display area for displaying sets of image representations as graphical thumbnails in a thumbnail array. The thumbnails represent a category of items. Each thumbnail represents an item in the category of items. Each thumbnail is embedded with a link to an information packet describing the item with various information elements. In response to a first thumbnail in the thumbnail array being tentatively selected by a viewer, a predetermined information element in a first information packet linked to the first thumbnail is temporally displayed on a first different display area. The predetermined information element includes a larger and higher resolution image than the first thumbnail. In response to the viewer activating a determined selection of the first thumbnail, a full information packet linked to the first thumbnail is displayed on a second different display area. In response to a second thumbnail in the thumbnail array being tentatively selected by the viewer, a predetermined information element in a second information packet linked to the second thumbnail is temporally displayed on the first different display area. The second temporarily displayed information element from the second information packet includes an image larger and at higher resolution than the second tentatively selected thumbnail.

An automatic scrolling mechanism converts an information repository into media that can actively present and 'push' information to the users/viewers while retaining existing 'pull' and interactivity functions. Automatic scrolling can be controlled by placing a cursor on control icons, such as boxes, lines, and arrow clusters. While the cursor is on an icon, automatic scrolling brings into view content that extends beyond the field of view. The scrolled content is moved into the field of view of the display window in a predetermined direction designated by the icon. Sub-windows are also designed to be independently and automatically scrolled or floated with respect the main window. Links created in an information repository may be automatically activated to retrieve the linked information, and to automatically present and scroll the information. As the content is automatically scrolled, the repository is pushed and the user is allured to further navigate through the repository.
