Abstract: It is sometimes necessary or desirable that a cursor on the screen of a first device be displayed on the screen of a second device. Methods are disclosed for displaying a cursor of a first user's device on the screen of a second user's device, even when the webpage displayed on the second user's device has a different layout from that webpage as displayed on the first user's device. In some embodiments, a first user's device transmits to the second user's device: an identity of an element on the webpage, and a distance measurement from a point associated with that element. The second user's device then displays the cursor on the screen of the second user's device at a location equal to the distance measurement from the point associated with the element.
