A system for interfacing plug-in programs to a web browser is described. The web browser integration system comprises an application framework that is used to produce custom applications. Certain interfaces are defined that application components must implement in order to function within the interface framework. The web browser interface system contains a script engine that reads application scripts and automatically installs the components needed over the Internet. The interface system then plugs these components together according to instructions in the script and handles communication and interaction between them within the application. The plug-in integration framework is currently available as a plug-in program itself, or as a standalone application.
