Abstract
A method of controlling how a Web document is presented for display on a browser of a Web appliance. The Web appliance typically includes a television class monitor associated therewith. The Web document typically is formatted according to a markup language such as HTML. The method uses a client side HTTP caching proxy to intercept the Web document and then dynamically rewrite the document before it is displayed on the browser of the Web appliance. In particular, as the Web document is received from the server, the HTML is parsed to identify the format of the document and the information therein. A filter mechanism is then used to reformat the Web document according to some given protocol, and the re-formatted Web document is then passed to the browser for display on the monitor. Dynamic alteration of the HTML in this manner enables control of the 'look and feel' of the browser display irrespective of the monitor resolution and/or quality.
