  • Patent number: 7047318
    Abstract: A system for developing and deploying web pages that have dynamic content is disclosed. First, a graphic artist creates a template HTML file that will provide the visual appearance of a dynamic web page. The template HTML file is embedded with identifier tags that identify locations where dynamic content should be inserted. A programmer then creates a program for manipulating a Document Object Model (DOM) representation of the HTML file to add desired dynamic content. The template HTML file and dynamic content program are then deployed to a special server system that serves the template HTML by executing the associated dynamic content program. When the server system receives a request for the template HTML file, the server first creates a clone of a Document Object Model (DOM) of the template HTML file and executes the dynamic content program to manipulated the DOM representation.
