Abstract

A computer system for generating web page navigations. A user interacts with an input form for creating a web page and accepting input that specifies inclusion of the page in a navigation and the hierarchical level of the inclusion. The specifications of the input form are recorded in a view that provides an index into a database. A Java agent reads the view and a set of documents such as Lotus Notes documents indexed by the view and associated with a plurality of web pages to be included in the navigation. Based upon static HTML information contained in the documents, the agent generates the navigation, and inserts links associated with the navigation into the plurality of web pages.
