A system for facilitating email communications. The system includes a first mechanism for monitoring when emails are sent and / or how often the emails are sent to different email addresses and providing a signal in response thereto. A second mechanism selectively displays a list of most recently used email addresses and / or most frequently used email addresses based on the signal and based on user input. In a specific embodiment, the first mechanism includes email address usage-tracking software that interfaces with email communications software. Email address sorting software communicates with the email address usage-tracking software and employs a data structure that contains priorities associated with a predetermined number of email addresses. The predetermined number of email addresses is user-configurable via a user-interface to the email address sorting software. The email address sorting software sorts email addresses in a data structure according to priority values assigned to each email. The priority values are based on both user-input to the email address sorter and the signal. The second mechanism includes an additional mechanism that displays a sorted drop-down list or menu of email addresses selected from the data structure and sorted according to the priority values.

A graphical input device, preferably in a browser-based display, resembles a pull-down menu, with a displayed data entry field. The set of possible entries to be displayed along with the graphical input device varies depending on the user. The minimum display width needed for full-width display of the entries is evaluated by scripting and the actual display of the set is generated accordingly. The drop-down list and its listed entries may be wider than the data entry field. The user can thus view and select customized possible entries that cannot fit within the displayed data entry field. According to another aspect of the preferred embodiment of the invention, when the user is making selections from the drop-down list, multiple keyboard entries can be used to cause rapid scrolling to entries that match not only the first character entered, but also to entries whose first n characters match n characters entered while viewing the list. For hierarchically structured and itemized entry lists, matching is preferably performed first to the right of at least one delimiter. The various novel aspects of the invention are implemented using scripting embedded within HTML code so that they are available to users who are browsing web content.

A designer builds a condensed, generic form of a spreadsheet which is a definition file. This can be designed in Microsoft Excel, following a set of guidelines, or using a high level symbolic language. If required, HTML files, can be produced directly from the Excel definition file to enable the user to, input parameters using a web browser. A user defines the various parameters that are to be used for their particular spreadsheet and the software of the present invention expands the template's rows and columns according to those requirements, working out the effect on the formulae and linked cells as this takes place. Behind the scenes a set of information tables are built, either in memory or in a file, based on the information in the definition file. These tables are processed in a structured way to build the spreadsheet formulae, reference other tables and build any objects required to operate the model. Formulae are copied and / or rebuilt depending on the circumstances in which they will be used. In addition, the data input areas of the spreadsheet can be separated onto another worksheet to facilitate usability. Reports and charts can be adjusted to suit the data. Several templates or definitions can be combined into one spreadsheet and other objects, e.g. drop down lists and scrollbars, can be added to enhance usability. VBA code can also be included to perform complex operations not normally available in a spreadsheet. Definition libraries that describe, or contain a copy of, a part of the model can be added seamlessly, for example, a bar chart with a particular color scheme or a complicated calculating function. The definition library can also contain VBA code, which can become part of the finished model and can add to its functionality.
