A system and method are disclosed in which a browser application animates web page construction. The animated construction involves the browser associating each web object with an animated mover character. The web object and animated mover character are moved from outside a boundary area of the web page to its programmed location within the web page wherein the movement simulates that the animated mover character is building the web page. The browser processes all of the web objects to display the entire web page with all of the web objects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore one object of the present invention to provide a system and method for constructing and displaying web pages that make the web page loading process more interesting on the computer screen for the user.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a system and method for enabling and aiding the user to know and be indicated of the entire size of the web page being retrieved by the user.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a web page animated construction and display that involves animated mover characters moving portions or pieces of the web page onto the web page viewing area as the web page is being constructed so that the user is provided with at least some further interest during the web page construction process.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide zoom in and out viewing capabilities of a large web page as the web page is retrieved so that the user has knowledge and a general indication of the relative size of the entire web page.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a web browser that displays a web page that uses both the web page animated construction and display and zoom in and out viewing of the entire web page.
The foregoing objects are achieved as is now described.
A system and method of using a browser for displaying a web page on a computer screen wherein the browser executes a web page animated construction and/or provides zoom in and out viewing of the web page as the web page is constructed.
The animated construction involves the browser associating each web object with an animated mover character.
The web object and animated mover character are moved from outside a boundary area of the web page to its programmed location within the web page wherein the movement simulates that the animated mover character is building the web page.
The zoom in and out viewing of a web page involves execution of a web page construction algorithm, such as the web page animated construction algorithm, for display of the web objects on the web page
