  • Web input through drag and drop
    Patent number: 9075517
    Abstract: A system for enabling the drag and drop behavior detects a cursor over a non-input element and creates a container to receive an object dragged by the cursor. When the cursor drops an object on the non-input element, the container receives and stores the dropped object. The system then removes the container and provides the stored object to input field associated with the non-input element.

  • Controlling communication within a container document
    Patent number: 7958516
    Abstract: A system allows modules associated with different domains to communicate, such as within a container document. To transfer payload data from the first module associated with a first domain to a second module associated with a different domain, the first module adds the payload data as a text string to the URL of a transport module associated with the second domain. This way, the second module may directly access the modified transport module to obtain the payload data from its URL. The second module may likewise add other payload data as a text string to the URL of another transport module associated with the first domain, thereby enabling communication from the second domain to the first.
