Claim:
A computer readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions for facilitating accessing information by a user and displaying information for the user via a network, the plurality of instructions, when executed by a computing device, result in the computing device: receiving a request from another computing device via the network regarding at least a portion of a first set of formatted markup information to be displayed on the another computing device; transmitting a response to the another computing device, the response being responsive to the request and including embedded data and embedded instructions, giving the another computing device the ability to generate at least a portion of the first set of formatted markup information for display on the another computing device by executing at least a portion of the embedded instructions on at least a portion of the embedded data, with the byte size of the at least a portion of the embedded instructions and the at least a portion of the embedded data together being less than the byte size of the at least a portion of the first set of formatted markup information being generated for display, thereby improving the response time for the transmission of the at least a portion of the first set of formatted markup information; subsequently receiving another request from the another computing device via the network regarding at least a portion of additional formatted markup information to be displayed on the another computing device; and transmitting another response to the another computing device, the another response being responsive to the another request and including at least another set of embedded data, giving the another computing device the ability to generate at least a portion of the additional formatted markup information for display on the another computing device by executing at least a portion of the previously transmitted embedded instructions on at least a portion of the another set of embedded data, wherein the at least a portion of the additional formatted markup information is able to be generated without having to re-transmit the previously transmitted embedded instructions, wherein the first set of formatted markup information includes a plurality of items for the user to select via the another computing device, and a search user interface to enable the user to submit search data to the computing device, wherein in response to submitted search data, the computing device enables formatted markup information regarding search results to be displayed by the another computing device, and wherein at least a portion of the first set of formatted markup information corresponds to hypertext markup language (HTML) data to be rendered for display on the another computing device.
