Summary:1. Technical Field A method of outputting a document on a rendering engine in a client in a computer network. The document comprises a markup language data stream having a plurality of references to external resources required by the document. In operation, the document is first retrieved to the client. As the document is received, the rendering engine parses the markup language data stream for a list of external resources. If the list of external resources is present in the markup language data stream, the engine selectively prefetches at least one external resource as the document is output by the rendering engine.
