Abstract

A method, system and software tool for processing an electronic form, represented by a form template including data and user interface elements, are provided. The form is rendered in accordance with the data and user interface elements of the loaded form template. A form viewer provides one or more graphic objects representing form controls. A composite template is created by adding, to the form template, an action element associated with each form control for which a graphic object is provided by the form viewer. The form is then processed according to the composite template and displayed to a user.
