Keith - Usually you need to create some sort of application that will respond to user requests, extract data from Oracle, and format an HTML page to send back to the user. That is basically what you described in your email. How that program interfaces to Oracle will depend on what programming language you choose. Usually your program is executed by a software called a "web server" or an "application server". Before you need to worry about Oracle, you need to learn a lot more about Web programming. If by "web" you mean the Internet, then you also need to learn about Web security. If your application is within your company intranet, then this concern isn't so significant.
Suggestions: Find someone in your company that is an experienced Web programmer, and discuss your situation with them. That will teach you a lot quicker.

Go to http://www.google.com, and type terms like "HTML Tutorial". A good site I found was http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/. This won't teach you about connecting to a database, but you've got learn the basics before you progress on to advanced topics. http://www.computerworld.com/departments/technology/quickstudies offers explanations of some of the important concepts so simple even a manager can understand.
