Abstract

A method for creating interactive web sites that are easy to modify is disclosed. The method uses a specific web server request handler system that examines each request to determine if a handler should be called to handle information related to the referring web page. Specifically, the server system examines the address of the referring web page to see if the server has a handler routine associated with the referring web page. If the server has a handler associated with the referring web page, then the server executes the handler routine to process any information in the current request, any state information, or any other information. After executing the handler routine, the server handles the current request. The handling of the current request may be affected by the processing performed by the handler routine associated with the referring web page.
