Abstract

A system for generating a web document includes a prearranged web document capable of being displayed using a web browser, a database containing preprogrammed information, and a form document. A user employs the form document to select user variables from the preprogrammed information. Once the user variables are selected, a user web document is automatically generated based on the desired user variables. The user web document is capable of being displayed on a computer using the web browser and is electronically linked to the prearranged web document.

Claims

1. A method for automatically generating a web document comprising:

providing at least one prearranged web document wherein said at least one prearranged web document is capable of being displayed on a computer using a web browser;

providing a database with preprogrammed information;

providing a form document;

selecting user variables wherein said user variables are selected from said preprogrammed information using said form document; and

automatically generating a user web document adapted for display on said computer, wherein said user web document is generated based on said desired user variables, said user web document being electronically linked to said prearranged web document.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one prearranged web document comprises a prearranged set of web documents.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said preprogrammed information comprises character sets.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said user web document is viewed by said end user over a system of networked computers, wherein said end user is using a web browser to view said user web document.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said user web document and said prearranged web document both relate to the funeral industry.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising selecting a language from a choice of languages for said form document, wherein said user web document is automatically generated in said language, and further wherein said language is a spoken language.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said user web document is accessible in a secure manner by a set of members.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said user variables are in a first language and said user web document is generated in a second language.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein said first and second languages are spoken languages.

10. The method of claim 8, further comprising automatically determining said second language from said computer or said web browser.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of automatically generating a user web document comprises automatically generating a user web document using computer software programmed in PHP.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising sending said user web document over a system of networked computers to a user.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein said user web document and said prearranged web document both relate to the funeral industry.

15. The method of claim 12, further comprising selecting a language from a choice of languages for said form document, wherein said user web document is automatically generated in said language.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein said language is a spoken language.

17. The method of claim 15, further comprising automatically determining said language from a computer used by a user or a web browser used by said user.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein said step of automatically generating a user web document comprises automatically generating a user web document using computer software programmed in PHP.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising:

determining a character set from a computer of said user; and

determining said second language based on said character set.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein said first and second languages are spoken languages.

22. The method of claim 19, wherein said user web document relates to the funeral industry.

23. The method of claim 19, further comprising selecting said desired user variables using a form document.

24. The method of claim 19, wherein said step of automatically generating a user web document comprises automatically generating a user web document using computer software programmed in PHP.

25. The method of claim 19, wherein said second language is automatically determined based a web browser used by said user.

27. The system of claim 26, further comprising at least one prearranged web document, wherein said at least one prearranged web document is capable of being displayed using a web browser, and further wherein said user web document is electronically linked to said prearranged web document.

28. The system of claim 27, wherein said at least one prearranged web document comprises a prearranged set of web documents.

29. The system of claim 27, wherein said prearranged web document and said user web document are viewed over a system of networked computers, wherein said system of networked computers is the Internet.

30. The system of claim 26, wherein said user web document relates to the funeral industry.

31. The system of claim 26, further comprising a desired language that is selected from a choice of languages for said form document, and said user web document is automatically generated in said desired language.

32. The system of claim 31, wherein said language is a spoken language.

33. The system of claim 26, wherein said user variables are in a first language and said user web document is generated in a second language.

34. The system of claim 33, wherein said first and second languages are spoken languages.

35. The system of claim 26, farther comprising computer software programmed in PHP, wherein said computer software automatically generates said user web document.

12. A method for dynamically generating a web document comprising:

providing a database with preprogrammed information;

providing a form document;

selecting desired user variables, wherein said desired user variables are selected from said preprogrammed information using said form document; and

automatically generating a user web document based on said desired user variables.

19. A method for dynamically generating a web document in a second language comprising:

providing a database with preprogrammed information;

selecting desired user variables in a first language wherein said desired user variables are selected from said preprogrammed information; and

automatically generating a user web document, wherein said user web document is generated in a second language based on said desired user variables.

26. A system that automatically generates a web document comprising:

a database with preprogrammed information;

a form document;

user variables wherein said user variables are selected from said preprogrammed information using said form document; and

a user web document that is capable of being displayed on a computer using a web browser, wherein said user web document is automatically generated based on said desired user variables.
