Abstract

A method and system for automatic retrieval of a document linking to a starting document that has a static address on a data network. A sequence of commands that cause a browser in a computer system to navigate from a starting document to a target document on a data network is recorded. The recorded sequence of commands can be reproduced to cause the browser to navigate from the starting document through a sequence of intermediate documents to the refreshed version of the target document. More particularly, the invention allows retrieval of the target document even when the intermediate and the target documents are dynamically generated by a server computer and thus their online addresses change every time they are loaded.
