Abstract
A request is sent from a client (12) to a server (18) over a communications link (16). A web server (20) on the server responds to the request with a dynamically generated, selected characteristic enabled, transient applet (26) including a plurality of data items (28) therein. The data items are represented in the applet as a plurality of respective non-updateable, pre-loaded elements (36) and a subset of the data items may be represented by respective updateable elements (38). The applet is executed on the client and then substantially discarded when the client no longer requires the data or services of the applet.
