Abstract

A system and method is provided for populating a plurality of fields appearing on a form such as an HTML-based form rendered on a browser. When a user first populates a form and submits it for processing, a web browser employing the inventive principles determines whether the user has completed a profile containing commonly used fields (e.g., name, address, phone number and the like). If no profile has been completed, data values from the form populated by the user are extracted, matched to the commonly used fields, and used to populate the profile, which is stored for future use. The user is also invited to supply missing data values for other fields contained in the profile. Thereafter, when the user displays the same or a different form, the user is given the option to automatically populate the form using values stored in the profile.
