A method and system for enabling a page description provided by a source server to perform additional behavior provided by a portal server. The page description (e.g., an HTML document) is associated with one or more items (e.g., a product). The enabling system executes at the portal server and receives a selection of the page description (e.g., a URL) from a client computer. The enabling system then retrieves from the source server the selected page description. The enabling system adds to the retrieved page description a user interface element that describes an action to be performed so that the additional behavior (e.g., placing an order for the product) can be performed for the associated item. The enabling system may also redirect to the portal server the navigation references of the retrieved page description so that all navigation based on the page description is routed through the portal server. When the enabling system intercepts these redirected navigation references, it can then retrieve and enable the referenced page description.
A method in a computer system for displaying a source page description provided by a source system that has been augmented for performing additional behavior by a portal system, the source page description relating to an item, the method comprising:
A computer-readable medium containing instructions for causing a portal computer to enable a source web page to provided by a source computer to perform additional behavior provided by the portal computer, the web page relating to an item, by:
A method at a portal web site for modifying source web pages of a source web site to be e-commerce enabled, the source web page being associated with an item, the method comprising:
A computer-readable medium containing a source web page that has been provided by a source web site and that has been modified by a portal web site to include a user interface element for providing additional behavior relating to an item associated with the web page and to redirect navigation references to the portal web site
