Abstract
A Web browser based application that allows communications between programming language driven frames and HTML or CGI/HTML driven frames within the same browser window. A Web browser computer on a network accesses the Web browser based application, which is loaded onto a Web server computer, called a remote support node. A port manager, called the hatdaemon, within the Web browser based application, is used to coordinate communications between the programming language frame and the CGI/HTML frame. Accessing functionality in the CGI/HTML frame can generate a message that the hatdaemon will send to the programming language driven frame. The hatdaemon, which maintains a list of all Web browser computers currently logged onto the application, can send the same message to all logged on computers. Thus, changes made by one user to the data in the application can be immediately communicated to all active browsers logged onto the application.
