METHOD FOR DISPLAYING INFORMATION GENERATED BY A CLIENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for displaying information generated by a client connected to a communications network. The invention also relates to an apparatus for operating as a client to a server, whereby the server is connected to a communications network. One of the possible solutions for preventing the switching by the user between display renderings is to employ scripting, such as javascript. However, this can lead to security and privacy concerns. The method of the invention comprises retrieving and displaying a first information content comprising a placeholder; retrieving a second information content comprising appearance definitions; retrieving a third information content from the client (10), the third information content being generated and controlled by the client; displaying the third information content at a position in the display determined by the placeholder; and displaying the third information content according to the appearance definitions. By separating the functional content from the‘look and feel’content, the functional content may be provided by the client without it being visible or accessible to the service provider, but still allowing the service provider to maintain a consistent‘look and feel’.
