Abstract
A computer-implemented method for simultaneously displaying and manipulating the contents of a container using a folder bar widget by displaying a plurality of tabs within the folder bar widget, each tab representing a sub-container of the container thereafter displaying a menu identifying the fist contents (e.g., computer objects) of a first sub-container in response to a pointing device activating a first tab representing the first sub-container. Finally, concurrently displaying a second menu identifying second contents (e.g., computer objects) of a second sub-container in response to the pointing device activating a second tab representing the second sub-container. Therefore, the first contents and the second contents are concurrently displayed.
