Patent number: 8627198Abstract: A new form of DHTML behaviors, called ˜Element Behaviors,” wherein a behavior component is bound to an HTML element, and not just attached to the element as with attached behaviors. A special processing instruction is used to import the Element Behavior into a Web page. Upon parsing the Web page, the Element Behavior is initialized as soon as it has been downloaded and parsed. This immediate initialization makes the Element Behavior declaratively available to bind synchronously to the element(s) it is modifying. A viewLink is a feature of Element Behaviors that permits encapsulation of a behavior component file (e.g., an HTC file) so that the structure of the HTC file is transparent to a Web page (˜primary document”) to which the HTC file is linked, but the content of the HTC file may be displayed in the primary document.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2008Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ronald R. Martinsen, David H. Massy, Joseph S. Beda, Richard John Gardner, Bulusu K. Mohan, Alexander J. Zotov, John M. Harding, Robert A. Relyea, Markus W. Mielke, Dave Cox, Kris Markel

Patent number: 8225196Abstract: In some embodiments, code can be encapsulated in an external behavior component for affecting the behavior of an element inserted into an HTML document. A reference can be attached to the element in the document to associate the element with the external behavior component. A renderer can parse the element in the HTML document and access the external component to modify a behavior of a page image. For example, the properties or location of a displayed element associated with the external behavior component may be changed on an event, the external behavior component can control user data input, or the external behavior component can draw on the page image. Multiple documents can reuse external behavior components, and an element can be associated with multiple external behavior components. The associations between elements and external behavior components may be maintained in cascading style sheets, inline with the elements, and in various formats.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2009Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anand Ramakrishna, Christian Fortini, Alexander J. Zotov, Roderick Chavez, David H. Massy, Richard J. Gardner

Patent number: 7594166Abstract: A method and system for rendering dynamic web page images on a display is disclosed. Code is encapsulated in an external behavior component for affecting the behavior of elements inserted into an HTML document. A simple reference is attached to the element in the document to associate the element with the external behavior component. When the document is provided to a renderer and the renderer parses the element in the document, the renderer accesses the external component to modify a behavior of the page image. Multiple documents can reuse external behavior components, and an element can be associated with multiple external behavior components. The associations between elements and external behavior components may be maintained in cascading style sheets, inline with the elements, and in various formats.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1999Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anand Ramakrishna, Christian Fortini, Alexander J.
