Methods, systems, computer program products, and data structures for displaying data on a web browser interface where the data in its native format is not displayable on a web browser interface. A network server receives a request for content from a network device where the request includes a request for data that is not displayable on a web browser. The network server identifies a template, which will be used to transform non-displayable data into displayable content. The network server accesses non-displayable data that is stored on a data server and processes the accessed non-displayable data according to the identified template in order to transform it into displayable content. A template may include HTML code as well as customized tags. The customized tags are consumed by a rendering engine, which executes certain functions to modify the data, making it displayable content. Once transformed, displayable content is sent to the network device.
In a network that includes one or more network devices that have Web browsers implemented thereon, the network devices being network connectable to a network server, the network also including a data server that is in communication with the network server, wherein the network server sends displayable content to the network devices, and wherein the one or more network devices may request data that is stored in the data server even though the data server itself is not configured to present the data as displayable content, a method for rendering data from the data server to create displayable content, comprising:
In a network that includes one or more network devices that have Web browsers implemented thereon, the network devices being network connectable to a network server, the network also including a data server that is in communication with the network server, wherein the network server sends displayable content to the network devices, and wherein the one or more network devices may request data that is stored in the data server even though the data server itself is not configured to present the data as displayable content, a method for rendering data from the data server to create displayable content, comprising:
A computer program product for implementing, in a network that includes one or more network devices that have Web browsers implemented thereon, the network devices being network connectable to a network server, the network also including a data server that is in communication with the network server, wherein the network server sends displayable content to the network devices, and wherein the one or more network devices may request data that is stored in the data server even though the data server itself is not configured to present the data as displayable content, a method for rendering data from the data server to create displayable content, the computer program product comprising:
A computer-readable medium for use in a network that includes one or more network devices that have Web browsers implemented thereon, the network devices being network connectable to a network server, the network also including a data server that is in communication with the network server, wherein the network server sends displayable content to the network devices, and wherein the one or more network devices may request data that is stored in the data server even though the data server itself is not configured to present the data as displayable content, the computer-readable medium storing data for access by a program module being executed on the network server, the computer-readable medium comprising:
