Patent number: 9552331Abstract: A method and apparatus that allows a user to specify whether his web page has primarily row or column layout. Web page editor software designed in accordance with the present invention generates the internal representation of a page (such as HTML) differently depending on how the user specifies the web page. A preferred embodiment of the present invention defaults to a primarily row layout, but allows the user to specify a primarily columnar layout by checking a box displayed by the editor. The editor generates an HTML table representing the page (or each frame of the page). Within the main HTML table, the editor generates HTML subtables, depending on whether the page is laid out using primarily row or column layout. The subtables are defined in such a way that the various elements of the page lined up in either a row or column direction, thus minimizing the problems.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2007Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Steven R. Boye, Rajagopal Lakshminarayan, Michael R. Shumann, Bernard Desarnauts, Marc E. Escobosa, Victor B. Zauderer

Patent number: 8935602Abstract: A method and apparatus for a structure editor implementing a “top-down” approach to designing a Web page. The user uses a “drag and drop” interface to add, delete, and move display elements to define the hierarchy of the site and to define the layout of each page in the site. The present invention automatically generates a layout for each page. This layout contains display elements that represent the links between pages of the site. The present invention automatically adds, removes, and deletes the appropriate links between the pages of the site as the user moves display elements. After the user has defined the hierarchy of the site and the layout of each page in the site, the user “publishes” the site. The publish function automatically generates HTML for each page of the site in accordance with the display elements of each page, yielding true WYSIWYG pages for the site.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2007Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Samir Arora, Gagan Arora, Rajagopal Lakshminarayan, Gregory Brown, Martin Frid-Nielsen, Clement Mok, David Kleinberg
