  • Publication number: 20240152694
    Abstract: A method and system for providing an electronic form are described. The method and system include identifying a visible portion of the electronic form. The electronic form can include a control component at a component location of the electronic form that is operable to receive an input from a user. The method and system can then determine an accessibility state of the control component based on the component location and at least one of a display property of the display and the visible portion. The accessibility state can be a convenient state when the component location is suitable for the display but is in an inconvenient state when the component location is not suitable for the display. When it is determined that the accessibility state is the inconvenient state, the method and system involves displaying a transient control component, or a version of the control component, on the display.

  • Publication number: 20150100450
    Abstract: An online auction system includes a host system which has at least one processor executing processor executable code, at least one non-transient memory communicating with the at least one processor and storing processor executable code, wherein the processor executable code when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to: (1) transmit a first signal to a network indicative of a first auction presentation page for auctioning an item, the first auction presentation page having a bid mechanism and being free of a buy-now mechanism; (2) receive a first bid signal from a user terminal indicative of a first activation of the bid mechanism; and (3) in response to receiving the first bid signal transmit a second signal to the user terminal over the network indicative of at least a portion of the first auction presentation page having a buy-now mechanism.
