Abstract

Software loads script file and strips markup language tags. This software can be located on a server. In order to prepare for operation, markup language pages are created. Then, special tags containing script commands are placed in the pages. These tags are replaced dynamically with the result of the command execution when the script is requested by a browser and executed by the server.

Claims

1. A computer system comprising one or more server computers, said one or more server computers comprising a display portion, a central processing unit portion, an input portion, an output portion, and one or more memory portions, wherein said one or more memory portions of said one or more server computers comprising:

software for loading a mixed-format script file, said mixed-format script file containing HTML scripts and non-HTML script commands, wherein said software for loading said mixed-format script file is capable of loading a HTML file;

software for designating specific tags within said mixed-format script file, wherein said software for designating allows for inclusion of a stripping tag which corresponds to a HTML tag pair; and

software for stripping script associated with said designated tags from said mixed-format script file, wherein said software for stripping strips designated HTML tags from said mixed-format script file, wherein said software for stripping strips designated HTML tags and any additional script between said designated HTML tags from said mixed-format script file, wherein said software for stripping removes said HTML tag pair and removes associated script which is associated with said HTML tag pair when said mixed-format script file is interpreted, and wherein said designated tags are replaced dynamically upon a command execution when said mixed-format script file is requested by a browser and executed by said one or more server computers.
