Abstract
A system and method for sharing data from separate servers between browser frames. A first server opens a client browser frame set and loads data to a first frame. A second server is called from the first frame to open a window. Responsive to post command issued from the window, environment variables are passed from the second server to the first server and loaded data from the environment variables by the first server to a second frame of the frame set. Thereafter, data obtained from a second server, which is loaded in the second frame of the frame set, is available to the first frame.
