    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for communicating with a web browser (10) executing on a remote/mobile processing system (5) which is temporarily and intermittently connected to a second computer. Requests e.g. on HTML forms from the web browser (10) to a server application accessible to the second computer are stored in a persistent request queue (32) at the remote/mobile processing system (5). An interim response is provided to the web browser (10) in response to the request from the client application. The stored request may be recalled to allow user modification of the stored request prior to the request being provided to the second computer (6) for transmission to the server application. Thus a patient admission form could be edited to correct errors or be resubmitted with new data for a different patient. By storing requests in a request queue and providing an interim response to the web browser asynchronous operation of the web browser is achieved.
