Abstract

See full text

A system, method and program of the invention enables an alternate page to be received by a client when the desired page is not found at a Web server. Other pages that were close to the desired page in terms of hyperlink hops are stored along with the bookmark for a page. This is done in the background in the spare cycles of the client by creating a site-map which indicates the hyperlink structure of a Web site containing the desired page. Chains of hyperlinks from the desired page back to the root or home page are then stored along with the bookmark at the time of bookmarking. If a page disappears from the site, the links in the chain are followed back from that page to the root page until a next available page is found. On clicking a bookmark, if the page is not found, another close page is obtained by the client.
