Merging tagged documents and scripts having dynamic content
First Claim
1. A method for linking a dynamic data fetch command to a document file, said document file initially in a preliminary markup state having at least one matching pair of a special beginning tag and a special ending tag, said tags separately contained in sequential comment statements of said preliminary markup document file, said tags delimiting and identifying an area in said preliminary markup document file for placement of requested dynamic data, said dynamic data fetch command located in a predefined script file, said predefined script file having a linkage identifier, comprising the steps of:
- identifying, in said preliminary markup document file, said matching pair of said special beginning tag and said ending tag, thereby identifying said delimited area therebetween;
selecting said predefined script file;
generating a linked document file from said preliminary markup document file, adding, at said identified area in said preliminary markup document file, said linkage identifier for said selected predefined script file; and
generating a final script file merging said predefined script file having said dynamic data fetch command with said linked document file.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method and processor for linking a dynamic data fetch command to a document file, the document file initially in a preliminary markup state having at least one matching pair of a special beginning tag and a special ending tag, the tags separately contained in sequential comment statements of the preliminary markup document file, the tags delimiting and identifying an area in the preliminary markup document file for placement of requested dynamic data, the dynamic data fetch command located in a predefined script file having a linkage identifier, comprising the steps of identifying, in the preliminary markup document file, the matching pair of the special beginning tag and the special ending tag to identify the delimited area therebetween; selecting the predefined script file; generating a linked document file from the preliminary markup document file, adding, at the identified area in the preliminary markup document file, the linkage identifier for the selected predefined script file; and merging the predefined script file having the dynamic data variable fetch command with the linked document file.

9. An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for linking a dynamic data fetch command to a document file, said document file initially in a preliminary markup state having at least one matching pair of a special beginning tag and a special ending tag, said tags separately contained in sequential comment statements of said preliminary markup document file, said tags delimiting and identifying an area in said preliminary markup document file for placement of requested dynamic data, said dynamic data fetch command located in a predefined script file, said predefined script file having a linkage identifier, comprising:
-
computer readable program code which causes a computer processor to identify, in said preliminary markup document file, said matching pair of said special beginning tag and said special ending tag, thereby identifying said delimited area therebetween; computer readable program code which causes said computer processor to respond to each said identification of said identified area by prompting a user to select one of said preferred script files said user wishes to correspond to said identified area; computer readable program code which causes said computer processor to generate a linked document file from said preliminary markup document file, adding, at said identified area in said preliminary markup visual document file, said linkage identifier for said selected predefined script file; and computer readable program code which causes said computer processor to generate a final script file merging said predefined script file having said dynamic data fetch command with said linked document file. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
