Abstract
A method of determining a layout for an electronic document comprising a web object that includes a set of components is provided. The method, for each component of the web object, injects code into a web frame used to retrieve the component of the web object. The program sends a request to a web content retriever to retrieve the web object. The program, for each component of the web object, receives a message at the layout generation application from the injected code in the corresponding web frame indicating the completion of the retrieving of the component. Each message includes the height of the corresponding web object component. The method determines a layout for the web object by using the height of the web object components after the messages received from the injected code indicate that every component of the web object is retrieved.
