  • Method and system for dynamically capturing HTML elements
    Patent number: 7325188
    Abstract: Method and system for dynamically capturing elements from a target Web page and displaying the captured elements in another Web page. A user first opens a Web Capture Web Part dialog box in a browser application program. The user navigates to the target server hosting the target Web page and sends an HTTP request to the target server to retrieve the target Web page. The target server returns the target Web page in an HTML string, which it is displayed in the Web Part Web Capture dialog box. The user then selects the elements that he or she wants to capture. The captured elements are then displayed in a Web part on the user's Web page and the returned HTML string is stored in a cache memory. Each subsequent time the captured elements are displayed, the elements are automatically updated from the target Web page.
