Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for rendering a web page on a display device, the method comprising: dividing a webpage into multiple empty partitions; creating multiple initial pointers for the multiple empty partitions, wherein each pointer locates data that is designated for populating a particular empty partition; transmitting the multiple empty partitions to a client; transmitting the multiple initial pointers to the client; in response to receiving a request from the client for data identified by the multiple initial pointers, transmitting the data to the client, wherein the client creates an initial version of a web page; in response to data in the web page changing, updating the multiple initial pointers to create multiple updated pointers; transmitting the multiple updated pointers to the client; in response to the client determining that a received updated pointer for a specific partition is different from an earlier pointer for the specific partition, receiving a request from the client for changed data located by the received updated pointer; and in response to receiving the request from the client for changed data located by the received updated pointer, transmitting the changed data to the client, wherein the client is able to update the initial version of the web page using only changed pointers that point to changed data.
