Use Web clipping to import content

Many Web sites and browser-based applications are designed for desktop displays that support large windows and complicated layout. Depending on the amount and complexity of the content, it can be impractical to include the content in a portlet. If your users also expect to access the portlet from a mobile device, such as a phone or personal digital assistant (PDA), the ability to tailor content to these small displays is increasingly important.

You can create Web clipping portlets to identify and extract specific portions of a document for display in a portlet. In this way, you can keep those pieces of information that are important, while discarding undesirable information or elements in the document that the client device is incapable of displaying. The Web clipping process simplifies what is being sent to the device, while reducing the amount of data being transmitted - a particularly useful aspect when wireless devices are involved.
