A method for enhancing the presentation of data received by a client computer from a server computer. Data blocks characterized by varying levels of complexity or appropriateness for particular audiences, that are associated with a base data set, are selected for transmission to a client requesting the base data set, for subsequent presentation to a user along with presentation of the base data set. Selection of an associated data block is based on a specific level established by the client and communicated to the server. Options are provided for the client to establish levels by such means as login IDs, express selection, usage profiling, and visual imaging. In alternative embodiments, a range of levels may be specified, or a rule set for taking action when associated data is present but does not match the level specification.
