Method and system for selecting rules to validate information submitted on an electronic form

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for creating a validation rules repository for electronic form validation rules. The software instructions that implement these validation rules would be linked to a record in the repository corresponding to each rule. During the creation of an electronic form on a web page, the software instructions that execute a rule for a particular field on the form would be automatically retrieved from a repository location and installed within the web page. In addition to incorporating existing validation rules, the present invention provides for the creation of new validation rules and storage of these rules in the rules repository.
