Abstract
To direct the user's awareness towards a page linked from a specific element, a script (object control program) is embedded in a Web page to be transmitted from a Web server and then executed by a user terminal. It is assumed that a plurality of link elements (elements to which links to other Web pages are set up) are placed in the Web page. The computer terminal that executes the object control program places objects with a size covering the whole area of each link element in front of several link elements in a Web page containing a plurality of link elements and gradually scales down the displayed size of the objects. The link elements thereby gradually appear on the display.
