Zusammenfassung:An improved method and system for scrolling through data are provided. An image viewer is used in conjunction with a scroll bar to allow a user to preview which image will be displayed next on a display device. The scroll bar includes a scroll box which may occupy any of several positions within the scroll bar. When a user grabs the scroll box using a mouse, or other pointer-positioning device, the image viewer displays an image corresponding to the position of the scroll box within the scroll bar. As the user drags the scroll box to different positions within the scroll bar, different images are displayed within the image viewer. When the user drops the scroll box, the final image displayed in the image viewer is displayed on the display device.
