  • Publication number: 20130167162

The client side application may be independent from the fantasy open platform environment. Hooks may be created to allow embedding of the client side application code on the fantasy open platform environment web pages wherein the client side application code identifies on which of the fantasy open platform environment web pages the client side application code runs. A client side application executing on a client browser may be allowed to access resources of the fantasy open platform environment over a network connection.
