Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for sharing a browser wherein it is not necessary to install a controller for sharing on a computer in advance. More particularly, a collaboration server is provided for accumulating pages to be shared from a Web server retaining original pages. A collaboration server comprises a CachinManager that accumulates pages dynamically generated on the original Web server for sharing, a CommunicationManager that controls sessions such as communication and participation/quitting among NodeManager controlling a browser on each user machine, an ordinary Web server for downloading facilities for implementing sharing of a Web server and an Embedder that embeds in each page a PageManager for controlling pages. The plural user machines to be shared comprise and existing Web browser capable of running Java and Script, and PageManager embedded in each page. A PageManager comprises two parts, namely, namely, a PageController and a PageCommunicator.

Abstract: The web sharing manager of a receiving sharing client receives duplicated events (e.g. browser requests) and messages from the web sharing manager of a source sharing client that causes the browser of the receiving sharing client to execute the duplicate event/message so that the browsers of the source and receiving sharing client computer system(s) process the same events/messages. Because events/messages, that include control and information locations (addresses), are shared between the source and receiving and sharing client(s), the same web page is simultaneously displayed and controlled, i.e. shared, on all of the sharing client(s).
