a web browser client operating within a data processing system that is coupled to said server system via the electronic data network and having a content manifestation environment, said web browser client operative to receive said software system and said data, to process said software system and said data to produce a controllable window object within said content manifestation environment of said web browser client, said controllable window object configured to dynamically manifest therein content received from said content source in accordance with said data.

16. The system according to claim 15, wherein said software system includes instructions related to the size and placement of said controllable window object within said content manifestation environment.

17. The system according to claim 15, wherein said content source includes full motion video content.

18. The system according to claim 15, wherein said content source includes an audio feed.

19. The system according to claim 15, wherein said electronic data network is the Internet.

20. The system according to claim 19, wherein said web browser client accesses said content source via the Internet to receive content to be dynamically manifested within said controllable window object.

21. The system according to claim 15, wherein said web browser client accesses said content source more than one time to receive corresponding different content to be dynamically manifested within said controllable window object.

22. The system according to claim 15, wherein said controllable window object further includes a control facility that permits said controllable window object to be minimized.

23. The system according to claim 15, wherein said controllable window object further includes a control facility that permits said controllable window object to be maximized.

24. The system according to claim 15, wherein said controllable window object further includes a control facility that permits said controllable window object to be re-sized.

25. The system according to claim 15, wherein said controllable window object further includes a control facility that permits said controllable window object to be closed thereby preventing dynamic manifestation of said content within said controllable window object.

26. A method for providing a controllable window object within a windows Lased content manifestation environment provided within a web browser, comprising the following steps:
