         9 . A system for performing script operations for mobile devices, comprising: 
 first means for sending a request for at least one object;    second means for sending a list of support languages;    first means for receiving said at least one object; and second means for receiving at least one script related to said at least one object.    
     
     
         10 . The system of    claim 9   , further comprising: means for storing said at least one object and said at least script.  
     
     
         11 . The system of    claim 9   , further comprising: 
 means for accessing said at least one object;    means for executing said at least one script related to said at least one object.    
     
     
         12 . The system of    claim 11   , wherein said means for executing comprises: 
 means for determining said at least one script's language;    means for interpreting said at least one script based on said language;    third means for receiving page specific global objects; and    means for forwarding said page specific global objects.    
     
     
         13 . The system of    claim 12   , wherein said means for determining further comprises: 
 means for compiling said at least one script.    
     
     
         14 . The system of    claim 9   , further comprising: 
 first means for updating at least one property based on operation of said at least one script.    
     
     
         15 . The system of    claim 14   , wherein said means for updating comprises: 
 means for accessing at least one property associated with page specific global objects;    second means for updating said at least one property; and    means for storing said at least one property.
