Method and system for enabling a script on a first computer to exchange data with a script on a second computer over a network
First Claim
1. A method of enabling a first computer to communicate and exchange data with a second computer, said method comprising the steps of:
- establishing communication between the first and second computer via a server, the second computer having a second script and a second control loaded thereon and operable in connection therewith;
communicating, to the first computer, computer code comprising a first script operable in connection with the first computer for accessing a function of a first control loaded on the first computer, the first script being further operable for receiving data input by a user of the first computer and for causing the first control to communicate with the server and to transmit the data input by the user to the server; and
causing the server to transmit the data received from the first script to the second computer for receipt by the second control.

Abstract
A method and system for enabling a script on a first computer to communicate and exchange data with a script on a second computer so as to provide access by the script to data typically inaccessible by a script. The method and system enable a first computer to control the Internet navigation of a second computer, and also enable instant messaging between a first computer and a member of a synchronization group. The computers may be connectable with each other over any type of network (e.g., LAN, WAN, intranet, Internet, cellular, etc.).

11. A method of enabling a first computer to communicate and exchange data with a second computer, the first and second computer being connectable via a server, said method comprising the steps of:
-
downloading, to the first computer, first computer code comprising a first script operable in connection with the first computer for accessing a function of a first control loaded on the first computer, the first script being further operable for receiving data input by a user of the first computer and for causing the first control to communicate with the server and to transmit the data input by the user to the server;
downloading, to the second computer, second computer code comprising a second script operable in connection with the second computer for accessing a function of a second control loaded on the second computer, the second script being further operable for receiving data input by a user of the second computer; and
communicating the data received from the first script to the second computer for receipt by the second control. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
