Abstract
A browser extension method and system for a Web browser in a computer network having a client connectable to one or more servers, the client having an interface for displaying a first hypertext document with one or more hypertext links to a second hypertext document located at a server. Initially, an access parameter indicating a selected parameter which describes an access to another hypertext document is associated with a hypertext link. Thereafter, the hypertext link to the second hypertext document is selected in response to user input. Next, an access time period is initiated, during which the hypertext link accesses the second hypertext document, in response to the selection of the hypertext document. Thereafter, the access parameter is displayed in response to initiating the access time period, permitting a user to review the access parameter.
