Abstract

A system and method for dynamic modification and generation of data is described. One embodiment includes an annotation server that is connected to a user and a content provider. The annotation server is configured to modify a copy of an enterprise'"'"'s stored Web content without necessarily modifying the actual stored Web content. The annotation server then provides the modified content to the user for viewing or other use.

Claims

1. A method for modifying a copy of original Web-page code stored at a content provider, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) responsive to a request from a user for Web content, receiving, at an annotation server, the copy of the original Web-page code, wherein the copy of the original Webpage code includes a data item;

(b) determining a modification that should be applied to the copy of the original Web-page code, wherein the determined operational modification is associated with the data item;

(c) modifying the copy of the original Web-page code according to the determined modification, wherein the original Web-page code stored at the content provider is not modified responsive to modifying the copy of the original Web-page code;

(d) providing the modified copy of original Web-page code to the user; and

wherein the data item comprises a graphics-based animation object which comprises Flash content.

2. A method for modifying a copy of original Web-page code stored at a content provider, the method comprising the steps of:

3. A method for modifying original content received from a content provider, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving the original content from the content provider, the original content including a content object;

(b) determining a modification that should be applied to the original content, wherein the determined modification is associated with the content object included in the received original content;

(c) modifying the received-original content according to the determined modification;

(d) providing the modified-original content to a user;

wherein the original content comprises a field for user data entry and wherein modifying the received-original content comprising inserting code configured to validate data entered into the field.
