Systems and methods of retrieving and presenting partial (skipped)
document content are provided. A typical system includes a document
parsing stage, a device request for content stage and a delivery of
requested content stage. A target device can include a device
presentation of the requested content stage. The system parses the
content of an electronic document and generates a document object model
(DOM) representation of the electronic document, where each source and
destination target is assigned a document object model identifier (DOM
ID). In some instances, upon completion of parsing, the document object
model is then paginated in computer memory into segments of a certain
size called chunks; in such instances the pagination operation can update
each DOM ID with an additional information attribute containing the chunk
index with the purpose of establishing a relationship between a document
object model identifier and the corresponding chunk index. Thus, when a
device requests specific content corresponding to the DOM ID the chunk
index value indicates the correct chunk to be returned to the device. The
device initiates a document viewing experience by requesting, parsing and
displaying an initial chunk of document content as delivered by the
corresponding server. The device can, upon parsing the data chunk, record
navigational information provided in the form of link information
containing corresponding DOM ID and Chunk Index information. The link
information can in certain instances be presented visually by a dotted
underline.
