Abstract
A web browser ( ) downloads a JAVA applet ( ) from a web server ( ) that maintains an IP connection between a customer's browser program and a push server. A sales or service representative interacts with a terminal ( ) to view web pages on the web server. When the representative desires the customer to receive a desired web page, the representative selects a “follow me” control on the terminal. The follow me control directs the push server to transmit an address of a web page to the applet. The applet in turn forwards the address to the web browser program to download a new web page. The present invention is used to transmit information to a web browser program that may be connected to other web sites.
