Abstract
A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and memory for programmatically switching arbitrary HTML pages is disclosed. The method includes the steps of receiving control information in an application server from a client computer, and executing a script in the application server to generate a map relating HTML files with commands to show pages related to the HTML files. When a control event is received from the client computer, the mapping provides a basis for commanding the client computer's browser to switch to a second HTML page. In one embodiment, the invention also includes a program storage device, tangibly embodying instructions for performing the above method steps. The invention also includes an apparatus for remotely scripting local objects. The apparatus includes an application server having device such as a computer for receiving control information from a client computer, and a device for executing a script using the control information to generate a map relating a second HTML file with a command to show the HTML file.
