Abstract: A network client such as a world wide web browser and corresponding method that includes and involves a scanner component that accesses an input content stream via a network connection (e.g., such as via a URL, etc.) to extract renderable content therefrom, a parsing component coupled to the scanner component for parsing the renderable content, and a replaceable document type definition component configured to control the parsing component based on a particular document type definition corresponding to a particular grammar. The replaceable document type definition component being replaceable during execution of the network client. The network client and its corresponding method may be used within a data processing system to receive and manifest content based on a document type definition that is not otherwise known prior to execution and run time of the network client.

Abstract: A system and method for manifesting content received via the Internet by an automatic data processing system includes and involves a content retrieval module for retrieving content from the Internet. The content is arranged to be manifested by the automatic data processing system. Also included and involved is a content manifestation module that is coupled to the content retrieval module. The content manifestation module is operable to receive a replaceable software delegate during its operation, and to manifest the content within the automatic data processing system in accordance with the replaceable software delegate. The replaceable software delegate controls the manifestation of the content by the content manifestation module.
