Abstract

Data refreshing of a mark-up language document is provided. A server script code generates client script code. The client script code and information descriptive of the new data is placed in a hidden frame. The hidden frame is sent to the client computer for executing of the client script code in order to update a mark-up language document, which has been loaded on the client computer.

Claims

1. A method of data refreshing of a mark-up language document being loaded on a client computer, the method comprising the steps of:

providing of new data to a server computer, the server computer having a server script code;

generating of client script code by the server script code;

placing the script code and information being descriptive of the new data in a hidden frame; and

sending of the hidden frame to the client computer for execution of the client script code by the client computer in order to update the mark-up language document.

2. The method of claim 1, the mark-up language document containing the hidden frame.

3. The method of claim 1 the mark-up language document containing activeX controls, wherein the updating is to be performed by interoperation of the client script code and at least one of the activeX controls.

4. The method of claims 1 wherein the mark-up language document is an HTML, DHTML or XML document.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising differentially coding the new data based on the data which has been previously loaded to the client computer.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the data and the new data is provided to the server computer from a process control unit.

7. A server computer program for driving a processor according to the steps of:

generating of client script code in response to new data;

placing the client script code and information descriptive of the new data in a hidden frame; and

sending the hidden frame to a client computer for execution of the client script code by the client computer in order to update a mark-up language document which has been loaded on the client computer.

8. The computer program of claim 7 further comprising differentially coding the new data based on the current data loaded on the client computer.

9. The computer program of claim 7, the computer program being an active server page script code.

10. A server computer comprising:

server script code means for generating of client script code;

means for placing of the client script code and information descriptive of the new data in a hidden frame; and

means for sending of the hidden frame to the client computer for executing of the client script code in order to update a mark-up language document, which has been loaded on the client computer.

11. The server computer of claim 10 further comprising means for differentially coding the new data based on the current data being loaded on the client computer.

12. The server computer of claim 10, the server computer being a component of a process control system.
