Abstract: A self-updating frameset having a target document in one frame and a Table-of-Contents (TOC) document in another frame hyperlinked to the target document. A reference document (RD) field is inserted into the TOC document to identify the target document as the target of the TOC. A TOC field in the TOC document scans the target document to identify selected headings as entries in the TOC document. When the selected headings are identified, the TOC field creates hyperlink entries in the TOC document, each hyperlink entry having a corresponding anchor at a selected heading in the target document. The hyperlink entries in the TOC document can be automatically updated each time the fields in the TOC document are recalculated.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for communicating results to a query for data in a computer network utilizing a graphical user interface. A framework on a client computer registers the client computer with an information service provider. Then the framework receives the query for data from the user interface. The framework creates a query packet including the query for data. A remote computer in communication with the framework resident on the local computing device receives the query packet from the framework and sends a response packet to the framework. After receiving the response packet, the framework determines whether the response packet contains a result to the data query. If the response packet contains a result to the data query, the framework formats the result for presentation to a user via the user interface on the local computing device.
