Abstract
A method, programmed medium and system are provided for enabling a user to move a piece of data or context to another page in a mashup application. Rather than linking directly between pages, pages are “linked” by a drag-and-drop action of the user. To move a piece of data or context to another page, the user drags an item from the current mashup page onto the tab of a target page to which the data item is to be moved. The dropping of a text item on, for example, a tab of a target page causes an event to be fired on the target page, which may be wired to widgets contained within the target page. The target tab is then brought into focus and its page contents displayed. Visual indicators are also provided on source pages to indicate the target pages, which will “accept” the dragged contents.
