GENERATING AN ELECTRONIC FORM LOCALLY ON A CLIENT COMPUTER FROM INPUT PARAMETERS
First Claim
1. A computer program product for generating an electronic form, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable tangible storage device and program instructions stored on the computer-readable tangible storage device, the program instructions include;
program instructions, responsive to a selection of a uniform resource locator (URL) by an end-user at a computer, to intercept the request within the computer to prevent the request from being sent to another computer;
program instructions to determine whether the URL includes one or more parameters that define a field with a missing value, and that need entry of one or more input values from the end-user;
program instructions to generate an electronic form utilizing the one or more parameters to formulate a field, within the electronic form, for each of the one or more parameters; and
program instructions to display the electronic form including the field for each of the one or more parameters, which enables the end-user to enter information into the field within the electronic form.

Abstract
A computer displays a screen that includes a uniform resource locator (URL). In response to a selection of a uniform resource locator (URL) by an end-user at a computer, the computer intercepts a request within the computer to prevent the request from being sent to another computer. The computer determines whether the URL includes one or more parameters that define a field with a missing value, and that need entry of one or more input values from the end-user. The computer generates an electronic form utilizing the one or more parameters to formulate a field, within the electronic form, for each of the one or more parameters. The computer displays the electronic form including the field for each of the one or more parameters, which enables the end-user to enter information into the field within the electronic form.
