The present invention relates to a method and a web engine. According to a first aspect of the present invention a web engine configured for an ITF (IPTV Terminal Function) such as a STB (set-top-box) comprising an application framework associated with an API enabling display of applications is provided. The application framework comprises a memory for storing at least two applications, wherein the applications are arranged in a hierarchical tree structure in relation to each other. The application framework further comprises an application manager comprising a receiving unit for receiving the event, e.g. a key press, and a controller for controlling the dispatching. The controller may comprise an event wrapper for wrapping and unwrapping the event and a dispatcher for transferring the wrapped event down through the application tree. For each application node (also the root node) the application manager is configured to determine if an event should be processed by the current application.
