Abstract

Generic client software, such as a web browser, is configured to include features conventionally found only in custom client software. In one embodiment of the present invention, generic client software is configured to have a parent frame which includes a data list frame and a data display frame. The data list frame display a set of identifier and a current data identifier marker. The data display frame displays a current data record. Commands to manipulate, such as a next command, are stored in the parent frame. Thus, both the data list frame and the data display frame can be updated simultaneously.
