Abstract
A web page architecture permits the selective reloading of frames so that only selected frames are reloaded, regardless of their membership in one or more framesets. A target frame in the web page is used as a work area, and a script associated the work area is executed to reload the selected frames.
Claims26
A method for creating a web page adapted to automatically reload selected frames of the web page in response to a trigger event, the method comprising:
- defining a target frame for the web page to serve as a work area;
- associating an action with the trigger event, the action having the target frame as a target;
- and
- associating programmed logic with the action, the programmed logic being adapted to reload only the selected frames, regardless of a membership of the selected frames in framesets used to create the web page.
A web page having a plurality of frames, comprising:
- a target frame;
- and
- a script associated with the target frame and adapted to reload only selected frames of any frameset used to create the web page.
An article comprising:
- a computer readable modulated carrier signal;
- and
- means embedded in the signal for communicating to a client computer, a message containing:
- rendering information in response to a request for a server-side processing;
- and
- client side code for reloading only selected frames of a web page, regardless of a frameset which the respective frames are members.
A computer readable medium for storing program instructions for reloading only selected frames in at least two framesets of a web page, the computer readable medium comprising:
- instructions for instantiating a target frame;
- and
- instructions for reloading only the selected frames, the instructions for reloading being initiated by an activation of a trigger associated with the target frame.
