Abstract

A client terminal may present focusable objects and non-focusable objects on a display screen. The focusable objects are objects selectable by a user, while the non-focusable objects are objects not selectable by the user. A client terminal may receive web content that defines a non-focusable object and present the web content on a display screen. Additionally, the client terminal may execute computer instructions for converting the non-focusable object into focusable objects. The client terminal may present the focusable objects on the display screen so that a user can scroll through one or more of the focusable objects, select, and copy the one or more of the focusable objects.
