Abstract
An apparatus and method provides for active documents to be linked with the standard browser bar. This linkage allows for software components contained by the browser to work together and feel like an integrated application to the end user. The integrated applications allow for an user to input data in the browser bar and see the related contents in the active document window. The user can also work inside of an active document containing a program and have the linking be reflected in the browser bar.
