Dear All, Sometimes placemarkers seem to disappear for me- hence the following questions for anyone who has an idea: 1) Does it affect placemarker retention if the page has been saved as a favorite? 2) If so, do you need to make your place marker before adding the page as a favorite? 3) Is there a right or wrong way to place temporary placemarkers on multiple pages on the same web site? I have had these issues with disappearing placemarkers for a long while and was reading the information from the patent suit below to try to learn something more about how they work. Thanks for any help. Cher The temporary Placemarker is maintained as long as the user remains upon the current page. Hence, the algorithm advances to decision block 24 where it is determined whether the user is still on the same page. If the user has moved to another page, the algorithm transfers to functional block 25 where the temporary Placemarker is removed from the previous document page. The algorithm continues to functional block 26 where the "Temporary" name is deleted from the list of Placemarker names. Once deleted, the temporary Placemarker will not be present should the user return to the previously viewed page of the document. The algorithm then ends by passing through exit block 27. If, in decision block 24, the algorithm determines that the user is still on the same page, the algorithm transfers to decision block 28.
In decision block 28, the algorithm determines whether the user has depressed the CTRL and K keys a second time. If the user has depressed the CTRL and K keys a second time, the algorithm transfers to functional block 29 and moves the temporary Placemarker to the current location of the Virtual PC Cursor. The algorithm then returns to decision block 24 to again check as to whether the user is still on the same page of the document. If, in decision block 28, the user has not depressed the CTRL and K keys a second time, the algorithm simply returns to decision block 24 to again check as to whether the user is still on the same page of the document. As long as the user remains on the same page, the temporary Placemarker will again be moved to the current location of the Virtual PC Cursor each subsequent time the CTRL and K keys are depressed.
