This paper demonstrates a technique for augmenting current World Wide Web b
rowser implementations with features found in classical hypertext applicati
ons but unknown to the World Wide Web community until now. An example imple
mentation is shown using Netscape Navigator 4.x using JavaScript, dynamic H
TML and Java. The implementation follows an architecture based on a proxy s
erver which acts as a gateway between the Internet and the browsing client.
Based on the detailed example, support for further features is discussed.
