摘要: A user interface component and method of using the same graphically display linked records with node elements representing individual records, optional link links therebetween. The may be automatically dynamically generated during navigation between such that whenever a new is taken from record represented by element, element generated. In addition, further configured to represent particular location within record, as well scroll associated selected specific data or locations therewith accessed. Moreover, also incorporate retrieve progress indicates current status operation for record. Individual separately indicate information their e.g., displaying cache and/or matching whether match predetermined search criteria, among others. utilized perform common operations printing, caching loading, others, on in response selection nodes records.
