System and method for dynamically changing the content of an information display
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- storing a first, second, and third code set in a tangible machine-readable medium,the first code set, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to present a first interactive dialog box at a first location in an information display upon interpretation of the first code set;
the second code set, when executed by the machine, causes the machine to receive a user input in the first interactive dialog box; and
the third code set, when executed by the machine, causes the machine to present a second interactive dialog box at a second location in the information display in response to the user input, the second interactive dialog box being displayed without disturbing or affecting at least one other portion of information presented in the information display; and
causing the transfer of the first, second, and third code sets via a network.

Abstract
A host Web page includes an evolving interactive dialog box wherein an Internet user may enter user data to be processed. When the user completes entering user data in a first revolution of the interactive dialog box, the first revolution is replaced with a second revolution of the evolving interactive dialog box without disturbing or affecting any other part of the host Web page being displayed. Beneficially, the first and second revolutions may be communicated to a user computer together with and at a same time as the host Web page. Also, the second revolution may include a variety of data which is selected or customized to match the user data submitted in the first revolution. Each revolution of the evolving interactive dialog box may be comprised of any combination of general textual data entry fields, category (pull-down) menus, contact information data entry fields, and opt-in/opt-out buttons.

10. A method comprising:
-
obtaining a first, second, and third code set from a machine-readable medium via a network; executing the first code set, using a machine, to present a first interactive dialog box at a first location in an information display upon interpretation of the first code set; executing the second code set, using the machine, to receive a user input in the first interactive dialog box; and executing the third code set, using the machine, to present a second interactive dialog box at a second location in the information display in response to the user input, the second interactive dialog box being displayed without disturbing or affecting at least one other portion of information presented in the information display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system comprising:
-
a computer; network components coupled to the computer for transferring data via a network; and a processing system implemented on the computer to store a first code set for presenting a first interactive dialog box at a first location in an information display upon interpretation of the first code set;
to store a second code set to receive a user input in the first interactive dialog box;
to store a third code set to present a second interactive dialog box at a second location in the information display in response to the user input, the second interactive dialog box being displayed without disturbing or affecting at least one other portion of information presented in the information display; and
to cause the transfer of the first, second, and third code sets via the network. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
