It is taught about the browsers interaction with today's complex texts are often only assumptions. To follow the reading process in detail, needed an advanced measurement techniques (eye-tracking) combined with interviews and questionnaires. This interdisciplinary approach is Jana Holsanova been using in their research, and this is now presented the results for the first time to a wider readership. Assumptions and opinions about reading confronted with the results of this new empirical research.
