An inter-frame and webpage generation and communication system and method provide a mechanism by which a parent webpage or frame can allocate a child frame of the displayed page for content generated by a web application other than that generating the parent webpage or frame and certain information can be exchanged between the child frame and the parent webpage or frame. Multiple frames of a webpage not only react to interactive events occurring within that frame, but also react to events occurring in child frames. In at least one embodiment, a mechanism for inter-frame communication is provided to enable communication between child and parent frames, and the inter-frame communication mechanism is agnostic as to whether the code displayed in the child and parent frames is provided by one or more web application servers.
