The present disclosure is directed to a system and method of making a hypermedium page interactive. Responsive to a user selecting a hyperlink on a hypermedium page displayed on a client node, a client agent located on the client node establishes a communications link from the client agent to an application execution server agent on an application server using information located in a hyperlink configuration file, corresponding to the hyperlink displayed on the client node, obtained from the network server node. Responsive to the creation of the communications link between the application execution server agent and the client agent, the application executes on the application execution server and the user is capable of interactively using the application running on the application execution node from the client node. Data input and display occurs at the client node under the control of the client agent.
