Abstract

A web-page processing method, at the data write-in stage, converts a web page into web-page data to be stored in a database in a specified format, and parses the web-page data to locate a portion of contents associated with the server-side command(s). Further, the storage information of said portion of contents in the database is recorded as index data. At the run-time stage, the portion of contents associated with the server-side command(s) is outputted to the server when the index data is referred to in response to a read command of the server. Then, the server-side command(s) is executed by the server and outputted to the browser of the client'"'"'s side.

Claims

1. A web-page processing method, comprising steps of:

parsing web-page data to locate a first portion of contents associated with a server-side command;

recording storage information of said first portion of contents in a database as a first index data; and

outputting said first portion of contents to a server when said first index data is referred to in response to a read command of said server.

2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said parsing step further locates a second portion of contents associated with a client-side command, and the method further comprises steps of:

recording storage information of said second portion of contents in said database as a second index data; and

outputting said second portion of contents to said server when said second index data is referred to in response to said read command of said server.

3. The method according to claim 2 wherein said first portion of contents is a first command block including one or more continuous server-side commands, and said second portion of contents is a second command block including one or more continuous client-side commands.

4. The method according to claim 3 wherein said first and second command blocks are immediately adjacent to each other.

5. The method according to claim 3 further comprising steps of:

executing said first command block by said sever, and outputting the executing result to web-page request means; and

outputting said second command block to said web-page request means without being executed by said server.

6. The method according to claim 5 wherein said web-page request means is a browser of a client'"'"'s side.

7. The method according to claim 2 wherein said client-side command is written in a Hyper Text Markup language (HTML).

8. The method according to claim 2 wherein said first and second index data are stored in said database as an array or a linking list, and are referred to according to the filename of the processed web page and a file allocation table associated with an operating system of said server.

9. The method according to claim 2 wherein said first and second index data include one or more items selected from a group consisting of a command-identifying code, starting address of said storage position, end address of said storage position and total length of said first portion of contents.

10. The method according to claim 1 wherein said web-page data is converted from a web page written in a markup language compatible with a standard generalized markup language (SGML) and have a specified format of a common programmatic language.

11. The method according to claim 1 wherein said server-side command is constructed by Server Side Includes (SSI), Command Gateway Interface (CGI), Active Server Pages (ASP) or Perl Hypertext Processor (PHP) technology.

12. A web-page processing method, comprising steps of:

building an index file of a web page, wherein information of a first command block including one or more continuous server-side commands and a second command block including one or more continuous client-side commands are recorded;

referring to said index file in response to a web-page read request;

locating and outputting said first command block to a server according to information of said first command block recorded in said index file; and

locating and outputting said second command block to said server according to information of said second command block recorded in said index file.

13. The method according to claim 12 further comprising steps of:

executing said first command block by said sever, and outputting the executing result to web-page request means; and

outputting said second command block to said web-page request means without being executed by said server.

14. The method according to claim 12 wherein said client-side command is written in a Hyper Text Markup language (HTML).

15. The method according to claim 12 wherein contents of said web page are stored in a database in a common programmatic language format.

16. The method according to claim 15 wherein said information of said first command block and said second command block include one or more items selected from a group consisting of a command-identifying code, starting address of said storage position, end address of said storage position and total length of said first portion of contents.

17. The method according to claim 16 wherein said index file is stored in said database in an array or a linking list format.

18. The method according to claim 12 wherein said index file is referred to in response to said web-page read request according to the filename of said web page and a file allocation table associated with an operating system of said server.

19. A web-page processing method, comprising steps of:

referring to an index file which records therein respective storage information of server-side and client-side commands of a specific web page in a database in response to a read request from web-page requesting means;

locating and outputting said server-side and said client-side commands to a server according to said storage information recorded in said index file, respectively;

executing said server-side command by said server; and

outputting said specific web page from said server to said web-page requesting means.

20. The method according to claim 19 wherein said specific web page is parsed to distinguish a first command block including one or more continuous server-side commands from a second command block including one or more continuous client-side commands, and storage information of said first and second command blocks in said database are recorded in said index file.

21. The method according to claim 20 wherein said specific web page outputted from said server to said web-page requesting means includes contents associated with the executing result of said server-side command and contents associated with the client-side command without being executed by said server.
