Method and code module for adding function to a Web page
First Claim
1. A method of operating a computer network to add function to a Web page comprising:
- downloading said Web page at a processor platform, said downloading step being performed by a Web browser;
when said Web page is downloaded, automatically executing a first code module embedded in said Web page;

Abstract
A computer network (20) includes a first processor (22) for maintaining a Web page (34) having an embedded first code module (36) and accessible through a Web address (38). A second processor (24) supports a Web browser (52) for downloading the Web page (34) and executing the first code module (36). When executed, the first code module (36) issues a first command (93) to retrieve a second code module (90) from a server system (26). The server system (26) includes a database (68) having a service response (162, 176, 186) associated with the Web address (38). A processor (62) assembles the second code module (90) having the service response (162, 176, 186). When the second code module is retrieved, the first code module (36) issues a second command (106) to initiate execution of the second code module (90) to provide added function to the Web page (34).

19. A computer readable code module for adding function to a Web page, said code module configured to be embedded in said Web page generated in a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and configured for automatic execution when said Web page is downloaded to a client machine supporting a graphical user interface and a Web browser, said computer readable code module including:
-
means for communicating a Web address of said Web page to a server system via a network connection to initiate a download of a second computer readable code module to said client machine;
means for commanding an assembly, at said server system, of said second computer readable code module containing a service response related to said Web page;
means for commanding a download of said second computer readable code module to said client machine;
means for initiating execution of said second computer readable code module following said download of said second computer readable code module; and
means for providing a comment tag informing said Web browser to ignore said initiating means. - View Dependent Claims (20)
