ABSTRACT:
A system for filling fields in Internet forms follows executable control code to associate stored fill entities with field names, and to place the stored fill entities into fields in the Internet form. In one embodiment association is automatic to the extent that names of fill entities match field names in the form. In another embodiment a display list is provided superimposed on the form, the display having selectable stored entity names. In this embodiment of the invention entity names may be selected from the superimposed list and caused to fill selected fields sin the form. In some embodiments both features are provided. In yet another embodiment a WEB browser is adapted to download database entities from a remote server through an Internet connection directly to a memory que without immediate display. The stored entities are separately selectable from the memory que for display and processing independent of operation of the WEB browser or the Internet connection.
