Abstract:
A system and method builds a set of information by providing information related to each object of a first type surrounded with a pair of identifiers. Information related to objects of a second type is provided with an embedded identifier. Information received from a server is associated with one or more first objects by locating a pair of identifiers in the information and associating the information with one or more objects corresponding to the pair of identifiers.
Abstract:
A system and method stores keys and values defined for a file as XML tags and values in a separate shadow file, allowing the keys and values to remain separate from the file, while being associated with the file so that the shadow file can be viewed, moved, stored or retrieved in tandem with the file.
Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed to restrict editing in a tag-delimited, multi-formatted document comprising parsing the multi-formatted document, identifying a plurality of tags responsive to the parsing, generating a revised document based on the multi-formatted document, inserting one or more restriction tags into the revised document delimiting non-editable content defined by one or more of the plurality of tags, and restricting edit functions of a page editor responsive to the page editor reading the one or more restriction tags.
Abstract:
Systems and methods which facilitate search engine discovery of and/or access to application program content are shown. Declarative code may be provided within the procedural code of a rich Internet application in order to identify various states, and their associated content, of the rich Internet application. A Web crawler may identify content associated with a rich Internet application using the foregoing information. Likewise, direct access to rich Internet application states associated with the identified content may be provided using the foregoing information. A translation module may be provided for interfacing between a Web crawler and a rich Internet application. Such a translation module may interact with the Web crawler to respond to Web crawler navigation instructions and access declarative code associated with different states of the rich Internet application, providing responsive information identifying content in a structure that is compatible with a search engine associated with the Web crawler.
Abstract:
A system and method for generating a conditional animation of an unknown object is described. In creating the animation, a representative starting point is designated for an object. A representative ending point is also selected by the designer for the object. The designer/developer may then create a representative motion path for the object. The designer then defines a transformation to translate a position of unknown object, when it is determined, relative to the representative starting and ending points and the representative motion path.

Abstract:
Systems and methods which implement declarative language for specifying states within imperative code are shown. According to embodiments an application program developer declaratively identifies one or more states within the imperative code of the application program. Declarative language identifying a particular state of an application program may both operate to identify the state and to describe the state so that the state may be selected or “jumped to” without a user having to navigate the application program flow to arrive at the state. Particular states may be described using a difference or “delta” between the particular state and another state, such as a base state. Transitions may be implemented between states, such as to provide animation, fading, color change, et cetera.

Abstract:
A development environment is described that includes identifying relevant code or rules applicable to various elements of a hierarchical document and displaying the relevant code or rules to a user within a display interface of the development environment. The system recognizes document elements highlighted by a user and searches through a data structure of the code or rules applied to the hierarchical document for code or rules that expressly reference the element selected by the user. The system then searches the data structure of the code or rules applied to the parent elements of the selected element. The discovered code or rules are then displayed to the user in the development environment along with any properties that are associated with the code or rules. The development system determines which of the properties do not apply to the selected element and render a marker indicating the non-applicability of that property.
