Abstract
A method for making a hypermedium page interactive includes the step of selecting a hyperlink on the hypermedium page displayed on a client machine, the hyperlink identifying a desired computing resource. A hyperlink configuration file is retrieved, the hyperlink configuration file corresponding to the hyperlink and identifying a virtual machine. A client agent is started on the client machine. The client agent creates a communication link to a virtual machine executing on the server identified by the hyperlink configuration file. The client agent receives data from the virtual machine and displays, on the client machine, the received data without intervention by the network browser.
