Abstract: “The invention relates to a method of rendering at least one element E in a client browser CB at a client CL, where the element E is defined at an intermediate web server IWS by element representative data ERD and where the element is obtained from at least one data source DS, the method including the steps of performing an analytical rendering AR having a transformation of the element representative data ERD into analytically expressed element defining data AEEDD including unknown quantities UQ, performing a visual rendering where the unknown quantities UQ are substituted with client specific factors CSF.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for performing web clipping at an intermediate clip server (ICS)—performing an intermediate rendering (VR1) by—accessing at least one source web site (SWS),—executing some or all scripts of a web document of the accessed source web site (SWS),—establishing a clip instance (CI) on the basis of said intermediate rendering (VR1)—transmitting said clip instance (CI) to a client browser (CB). According to the invention, an effective and robust web clipping has been obtained as scripts may be executed and the relevant data imported into the clip although the scripts may be external, i.e. not included in the clip as such. Moreover, the desired web clipping may be established on the basis of external links or other data external to the clip-defining HTML.
