Abstract

A method for browser-based chat messaging is provided. The method presents browser-based presentation interfaces, including a master and at least one slave, and including a chat messaging interface for the master and establishes a single communication session with a server system, by the master. Based on a number of presentation interfaces associated with a chat session, a new presentation interface broadcasts a master/slave status request to the other presentation interfaces, receives responses from the other presentation interfaces, and configures a file in its session storage to identify itself as a slave based at least in part on a response from the master. Thereafter, the new presentation interface communicates with the server system via the master.
