A system and method of using a browser for displaying a web page on a computer screen wherein the browser executes a web page animated construction and / or provides zoom in and out viewing of the web page as the web page is constructed. The animated construction involves the browser associating each web object with an animated mover character. The web object and animated mover character are moved from outside a boundary area of the web page to its programmed location within the web page wherein the movement simulates that the animated mover character is building the web page. The zoom in and out viewing of a web page involves execution of a web page construction algorithm, such as the web page animated construction algorithm, for display of the web objects on the web page. The browser determines whether web object display has exceeded a current zoomed view of the web page and zooms out the current zoomed view to accommodate additional web objects if display has exceeded the current zoomed view. The browser processes all of the web objects to display the entire web page with all of the web objects. The browser then zooms back into the current view of the web page to only an initial portion of the web page. A scroll indicator with the current view of the web page for indicating to a user scrollability and accessibility to more and other portions of the web page.

A method for fetching network objects from a web server is described. The method includes intercepting at a device a request from a web client to a web server for a first network object. The same device intercepts a response to the request from the web server. The device determines at least one second network object most probable to be requested in the future from the web server. Subsequently, a message is sent from the device to the web client the first message informing the web client of the at least one second network object to be cached by the web client.

A tangible icon is permanently encoded with a URL of a first network object. Links (“shortcuts”) to other network objects are assigned as the contents of the first network object. A person in possession of the tangible icon can gain access to the other network objects without having to remember or enter their URLs, but need only present the physical icon to a reader. The system and method uses the URL encoded on the tangible icon to access the network object and to resolve the links contained therein to provide the contents of the linked objects. The number and size of the other network objects the user can access are virtually unlimited. The user gains access to the current version of an object.

This disclosure is directed to methods and systems for managing rendering of a web page in a browser. A client operated by a user may execute code within a first fragment of a web page as the first fragment is presented to the user. The code may be injected into the first fragment by an intermediary between the client and a server of the web page. The intermediary may have split the web page into the first fragment and a plurality of fragments, and may have modified a default rendering characteristic for each of the plurality of fragments. Each of the modified rendering characteristic may include a trigger and action for rendering of a corresponding fragment. The executing code may dynamically detect a trigger for rendering of a second fragment from the plurality of fragments. The executing code may initiate a corresponding action for rendering of the second fragment.

A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for automating information sharing and propagation of control commands and events between software objects created in Web applications and 3D virtual world objects created in virtual world applications. A relationship is created to link a Web object with one or more virtual world objects, or to link a virtual world object with one or more Web objects. A Web application may retrieve the meta-data of one or more virtual world objects or send commands or events to manipulate one or more virtual world objects to which a Web object within the Web application is linked. A virtual world system may retrieve the meta-data of one or more Web objects or send commands or events to manipulate one or more Web objects to which a virtual world object within the virtual world system is linked.
