1. A method of synchronizing views among a plurality of different Web browsers in a network environment, comprising the steps of:
- selecting a source root display frame displayed by a source browser included in said plurality of different web browsers;
generating a description of browser display frames associated with the source root display frame as a frame hierarchy of browser display frames from said selected source root frame;
transmitting said description of a frame hierarchy over the network environment; and
duplicating said frame hierarchy from said description into a selected target root display frame of at least one of said plurality of different Web browsers to thereby provide the browser display frames in the frame hierarchy to the at least one of said plurality of different Web browsers so as to synchronize the view of the source browser and the at least one of said plurality of different Web browsers.
