Abstract
Provided is a desktop navigation tool (DNT) for navigation across multiple web pages, including the original and the second web page described in the paragraph above. An 'UP' button enables a user to navigate from the new web page back to a different window, opened from a particular window. A 'DOWN' (DN) button enables the user to navigate back to a window from which a particular window was spawned. This functionality differs from that found in standard “FORWARD” and “BACK” navigation buttons, typically found in a browser window, which only enable a user to navigate through web pages within a particular window. The claimed subject matter enables a user to navigate more freely and efficiently among multiple windows.
