Abstract
Methods and systems for rendering information pages are described. A page is divided into panes which are rendered by individual pane renderers. The pane renderers can be shared between pages, or even re-used across multiple applications. Rendering support components or objects are provided and can provide access to shared services or data (e.g. ads, user preferences, scripts, and styles) that might be required by multiple panes on a page. Page descriptions comprising pane renderers are created dynamically in a prescribed fashion by an application. A page renderer service in a platform then processes the page description and causes the appropriate RSOs to be called, initialized, and used by the pane renderers to render the page.
