Abstract
The invention marks a reference point at a chosen Internet site such a page on the World Wide Web. It stores the address of the page and a reference location on the page that is proximate to desired data. The program generates and stores a label corresponding to the desired data. When the program is later activated, it automatically searches the Web for the stored pages, accesses the site with the stored site address and marked reference point and retrieves the targeted data at the site corresponding to the stored label.
