Abstract
A system and method for dynamically displaying data items on a client computer. In one aspect of the invention, the client computer displays a graphical user interface having a windowing environment and a desktop. The desktop includes a ticker display pane for dynamically displaying the data items. The data items may contain hyperlinks so that a user has access to information on multiple server computers. The data items are displayed in a substantially continuous sequence and may be provided from Internet servers, Intranet servers, LAN servers, and/or the client computer itself.
