A toolbar is provided that is synchronized with a web-site browser system.
The toolbar provides an interface to a path analysis system that provides
path analysis data related to a select web-page. By synchronizing the
toolbar to the browser, the path analysis system provides path analysis
data related to the web-page that the browser is currently displaying. By
displaying the path analysis data coincident with the content of the
web-page from the browser, the user is provided a direct visual
association between the actual web-page and the traversals to and from
the web-page. By synchronizing the toolbar with the browser, the user can
view the path analysis data of each page as the user navigates through
the web-site using the same technology that a typical web-site visitor
would use. The toolbar in a preferred embodiment is also configured to be
synchronized to the movements of a cursor within the browser, and to
highlight the path analysis data associated with each link as the cursor
is brought in proximity to the link on the displayed web-page.
