| 1. A method for providing browser function accessibility on a web page on a computer network, said method comprising:
connecting a proxy machine between a client device and a web content server;
receiving at the proxy machine a content web page from the web content server requested by the client device;
injecting at least one browser-based function form into the content web page, said at least one browser-based function form
activating at least one browser based function to generate a browser functioning web page, wherein the at least one browser-based
function form and the content web page are transcoded together for accessibility, and wherein the at least one browser-based
function form is a user-defined button that replicates a previously-existing button on the content web page, wherein the user-defined
button provides greater user accessibility than the previously-existing button, and wherein the user-defined button is injected
by a dedicated transcoder in the proxy machine in accordance with a user data base that describes a visual limitation of a
user; and
sending the browser functioning web page to the client device.
