Abstract
The technical field of the present invention is directed to Internet based data entry systems. Problems with existing WEB Browser technologies include an inability to support local storage of entered data due to security issues. A file save option simply saves the source contents of the currently displayed WEB page without any entered data. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for capture of data entered into a WEB page displayed in a WEB Browser including local storage of the entered data on a hard disk of the client computer. The present invention receives entered data in a primary document and generates a secondary document having the entered data as initial conditions within the secondary document for local storage to a hard disk. The primary use of the present invention provides data capture with storage to a local file through a WEB Browser for retaining a personal record of a business transaction and for later transmission through the Internet in a connect mode to a WEB server computer.
