Generating an electronic form locally on a client computer from input parameters

1. A computer program product comprising:

a programmable electronic device (client), including a computer-readable tangible storage device;

program instructions stored on the computer-readable tangible storage device, the program instructions include:

program instructions to display a screen that includes a link to a uniform resource locator (URL);

in response to a selection of the link by an end-user, program instructions to intercept a corresponding request for the URL to prevent the request from being sent from the client to another computer;

program instructions to parse the URL to determine whether the URL includes one or more parameters with at least one missing value;

program instructions to generate at least one field, for the one or more parameters with the at least one missing value; and

program instructions to display a generated field with the missing value, which enables entry of information into the generated field.

2. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein:

the URL is a selectable link or object that is clickable and/or capable of being scanned;

the URL includes validation information;

the validation information comprises an input type for the field; and

the input type for the field includes integer, double, string, date, time, e-mail, telephone, text, checkbox, password, radio, or button.

3. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein:

the URL includes validation information;

the validation information includes information about whether the field requires input from the end-user, but is missing an input type for the field; and

the input type for the field is set to a value of “text”.

4. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein:

the URL is missing validation information; and

an input type for the field is set to a value of “text”.

5. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions to intercept the request further comprise program instructions to:

retrieve the URL from the request;

parse the URL to obtain at least one of an input type and a name for the field; and

utilize the information to identify the one or more parameters.

6. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further comprise program instructions to:

generate a web page document having a form element, that is utilized to construct an electronic form, and the form element includes the field for each of the one or more parameters with the missing value; and

assign the field an input type and a name.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein:

the form element includes an action attribute; and

the action attribute is obtained from the URL.

8. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the generated field includes fields to submit the link with entered information to a destination, and a field to cancel submission.

9. A computer system comprising:

a programmable electronic device (client) including one or more computer processors;

one or more computer readable storage media communicably coupled to the one or more processors; and

program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to display a screen that includes a link to a uniform resource locator (URL);

in response to a selection of the link by an end-user, program instructions to intercept a corresponding request for the URL to prevent the request from being sent from the client to another computer;

program instructions parse the URL to determine whether the URL includes one or more parameters with at least one missing value;

program instructions to generate at least one field for the one or more parameters with the at least one missing value; and

program instructions to display a generated field with the at least one missing value, which enables the entry of information into the generated field.

10. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein:

the URL is a selectable link or object that is clickable and/or capable of being scanned;

the URL includes validation information;

the validation information comprises an input type for the field; and

the input type for the field includes integer, double, string, date, time, e-mail, telephone, text, checkbox, password, radio, or button.

11. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein:

the URL includes validation information;

the validation information includes information about whether the field requires input from the end-user, but is missing an input type for the field; and

the input type for the field is set to a value of “text”.

12. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein:

the URL is missing validation information; and

an input type for the field is set to a value of “text”.

13. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the program instructions to intercept the request further comprise program instructions to:

retrieve the URL from the request;

parse the URL to obtain information, wherein the information is selected from a group consisting of an input type and a name for the field; and

utilize the information to identify the one or more parameters with the at least one missing value.

14. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the program instructions further comprises program instructions to:

generate a web page document having a form element, that is utilized to construct the electronic form, and the form element includes the field for each of the one or more parameters; and

assign the field an input type and a name.

15. The computer system of claim 14 , wherein:

the form element includes an action attribute; and

the action attribute is obtained from the URL.

16. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the generated field includes fields to submit the link with entered information to a destination, and to cancel submission.
