Abstract:

A system and method is provided for archiving only pertinent portions of a web application. In implementation, the system and method of the invention allows web applications to easily save important areas of a web page that are displayed to the user. The important areas may include, for example, confirmation of a transaction or other sales information. The important areas, also referred to as pertinent portions, are saved as a file on a server, database or other computing device for future reference. The method comprises placing a first scripting tag at a first location in an HTTP document and placing a second scripting tag in a second location in the HTTP document. The text between the first scripting tag and the second scripting tag is rendered and saved into a file upon execution of the HTTP document.
