Interacting wth software applications displayed in a web page

摘要

The invention enables the display of applicationoutput data within application-output windows (326) embedded in a web browser window (320). The applicationoutput windows (326) can be dynamically moved, resized and otherwise manipulated within the web browser window (320) even when the application program providing the source of the application-output data is non-web enabled(e.g., legacy applications). The invention receives window attribute information associated with the application-output windows (326) via a first virtual channel (660) and displays application-output data received via a second channel (670) within the application-output windows (326), which are formed and/or modified using the window attribute information.
