Abstract
An electronic file such as an HTML web page accessible via a browser by a user. The electronic file may include one or more textual field descriptors for display within the browser; one or more editable data fields associated with the textual field descriptors, the editable data fields for receiving data for the user of the browser; and a module having a view mode and an edit mode, the view mode for displaying the textual field descriptors, the edit mode for permitting the user to enter data in the editable data fields. In one example, the view mode may be invoked when the electronic file is open in the browser. The edit mode may be invoked only if the browser contains a control for activating the edit mode. In this way, the user is able to edit the data in the document and retransmit the document to other users who can only view the data as read-only data.
