An extensible set of information is defined within a Web page, which is retrievable
in an ordered manner. Web page variables are defined and populated with commands
and data which are executed according to the order defined by the naming convention
employed in defining the Web page variable names. Within a Hypertext Markup Language
(HTML) document, an open-ended series of commands are defined to be read and processed
by a control without having to extend HTML or using an alternative language. For
instance, a series of vector graphics commands can be defined using PARAM Tag statements
and subsequently executed by a Web control in the specified order. Moreover, by
defining an graphics object in this manner, a standard ASCII text editor can be
used to review and modify the commands, and the graphics can be completely defined
within the HTML document which does not require any external reference and thus
reduces processing and network overhead.
