An enhanced document browsing method and apparatus for creating a form from a template that includes replication blocks, that replicates at least one field in at least one replication block characterized by a block name to generate at least first and second replicated fields; modifies the block name to generate a first field name; modifies the block name to generate a second field name; associates the field names with respective ones of the first and second replicated fields; counts the number of replications; and transmits the number of replications to at least one client computer.

The present invention provides the capability to easily access many different application programs over the WWW via a common user interface. By providing standard procedures, routines, tools, and software "hooks" for accessing software applications over the WWW, software developers can concentrate on the functionality of the application program and easily use HTML to provide a GUI interface for the application program. HTML is a well-known language which can be used by almost any computer system on the market today. In addition, since HTML is a fairly well controlled and standardized language, new software application features can be added as they are developed and supported by HTML. In addition, since HTML is a widely adopted, non-proprietary technology, the present invention can provide open access to a large market for even very small software developers. Further, the present invention also allows software developers to adopt a standard access protocol, which allows them to provide support for any computer system which is capable of utilizing a HTML cognizant browser. Finally, by providing easy-to-implement, standardized solutions to the issues of user interface, authentication/security, and web transaction support, the common user interface of the present invention overcomes the limitations existing in previous solutions.

The present invention provides a system and method of workstation configuration that includes a multi-level hierarchy management of preferences which are essentially managed and stored with a file server, rather than with each individual workstation. The invention comprises a computer network that includes workstations that have configurable hardware devices and software applications; a workstation server connected to the workstations that includes hierarchical preference files containing configuration information; and a preference manager for providing a coalesced, or merged, set of configuration parameters to the workstations based on the information in the hierarchical preference files.

A method and system are disclosed which permit the presentation of single and double digit selection field in a non-programmable terminal. Multiple numeric characters associated with particular textual choices are coupled to a workstation controller interface along with an identified offset within each textual choice to a selected mnemonic character. If an associated terminal display device does not support more advanced graphic elements, such as so-called "radio buttons" and underscored mnemonics, the numeric characters and textual choices are entered into a format table entry and utilized to specify a selection field within the terminal display. A single or double digit numeric indicator area is then defined within the terminal display and numeric entries within the selection field are displayed within the numeric indicator area, permitting the user to visually affirm what textual choice will be selected upon entry. A selected textual entry is then displayed utilizing highlighting or reverse video, providing a simulation of graphic entry techniques while permitting direct selection of any textual choice. If an associated terminal supports advanced graphic elements, the offset value is utilized to identify a selected mnemonic character within each textual choice and graphic input controls, such as "radio buttons" are then utilized to indicate a selection of a textual choice.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for extracting translatable material or Machine Readable Information (MRI) from browser program function codes in a computer system. A browser window is partitioned into frames. The browser window frames include a parent frame. A plurality of variables are created in the parent frame. Each of the plurality of variables defines an MRI string. Then the variables are used in the browser program function codes for displaying MRI.

An enhanced document browsing method and apparatus. A browser at a client interprets a work-frame code, information, a control-frame code, and a control-object function that identifies the control-frame code. When the browser interprets the work-frame and control-frame codes, it divides the browser window into two frames: a work-frame and a control-frame. When the browser interprets the information, the browser displays the information to the user in the work-frame. When the browser interprets the control-object function, the browser displays a control-object in the control-frame associated with the control-frame code. The control-object can allow the user to control the information in the work-frame. Since the control-object is in the control-frame instead of being only in the work-frame, it is always in view and available to the user, regardless of the scrolling position of the page of information within the work-frame. Thus, the preferred embodiment provides the user with quick and easy access to the control-object.

An enhanced document browsing method and apparatus for requesting transactions of transient programs at a server, that sends a first transaction to a server that requests first data from a first transient program; receives the first data from the server; inserts the first data into an entry field; and requests a second transaction from a second transient program by sending the first data to the server.

The present invention provides a system and method of performing user authentication on web based applications, such as IBM's Network Station Configuration Preference Manager. In particular, the system and method saves and continuously passes user information back and forth between a web client and a web server. The user information can then be used by CGI programs being executed on the web server for authentication purposes. Specifically, each CGI program will examine the user information, determine the authority privileges of the user, run the CGI program under a non-default user mode, return user information back to the web client, and return the CGI job to run in a default user mode.
摘要:
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for balancing management loads. Loads are analyzed for a plurality of hardware control points to form an analysis in response to receiving a notification from a hardware control point indicating that a new manageable data processing system has been discovered. One of the plurality of hardware control points is selected using the analysis to form a selected hardware control point. The message is sent to the selected hardware control point to manage the new manageable data processing system, wherein the selected hardware control point manages the new manageable data processing system.
