Abstract: Information requested by a client is intercepted by a network server, which sends the request to the requested information source. The requested information is received and examined by the server to determine if the information is HTML format. If so, the server modifies the requested information by inserting format and request instructions then sends same to the client computer. The client uses the format and request instructions to send a request for supplemental information from a supplemental information source. The associated supplemental information is sent from the supplemental information source to the network client. The format instructions cause the requested information and supplemental information to be displayed in respective first and second display areas.

Abstract: A network server from information sources in a computer communication network. The method routes the information through the network server to a network client. The network client sends a request for requested information, which it desires from a requested information source. The network server inspects the request, and determines whether the request is a first request. If it is the first request, then the network server sends the first request to the requested information source, and the requested information is received from the requested information source by the network server. The network server associates the requested information, and then saves the associated requested information in a memory. Format and request instructions are sent by the network server and received by the network client. The network client uses the format and request instructions to send a second request for the requested information.
