Abstract
A method of saving and retrieving a selected string on an HTML-based document. A cursor is placed at a location on the document. The number of HTML tags are counted between the beginning of the document and the position of the cursor. The count of HTML tags is saved in association with the URL of the document. When the document at the URL is retrieved at a later time, the string at the location of the previously set cursor is retrieved and communicated to the end user.
