Abstract
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for remotely scripting local objects. An applet is executed in a browser in a remote client computer, thereby generating control information. The control information is transmitted from the client computer to a network server. A script stored on the network server is executed using the control information. The execution of the script generates script output data. The script output data is transmitted from the network server to the browser. The output data can be thereafter used to execute another applet in the client browser. The output data need not comprise an entire HTML page, but may comprise only a portion of the page as required to display the required information.
