Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus for managing multiple hierarchical lists of addresses for electronic data sources, or information sites, within a browser are provided. A method for managing addresses involves displaying an address manager interface as well as a plurality of associated address list identifiers, selecting an address list identifier, and displaying a list of addresses associated with the selected address list identifier. In one embodiment, an address associated with the selected address list is placed into a second address list. In such an embodiment, the address is selected, and a cutting or copying operation is performed to place the address into a memory buffer. Then, an address list identifier which corresponds to the second address list is selected, and a paste operation is used to move the address from the memory buffer to the second address list. In another embodiment, at least one of the lists includes a plurality of address and further involves sorting the addresses according to at least one sorting criterion.
