ABSTRACT
We present a general framework for navigating complex structures - specifically, tables, frames, and forms?found in web-pages. Our framework is based on an (automatically or manually created) program written in a domain specific language that captures the semantic structure of the table/frame/form as well as specifies the strategy to be used for navigating it. We describe our general framework and the domain specific language we have designed.
