Abstract

A method and system for data display and data capture using applets within hidden frames on a browser. A visible frame and two invisible frames are passed to a client in response to an http request. The visible frame may include multiple layers. The hidden frames contain applets such as Java Server programs (JSP), but do not contain any visible html. Static data that is used for data display and data selection (e.g. pick boxes) is contained within one hidden frame. An applet, such as JSP within the other hidden frame provides an interface between the visible frame and the server to retrieve dynamic data, or verify data entry.
