  • Patent number: 7290219
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for displaying a selection based action bar to a user that the user is able to use to perform actions using selected data. A user selects one or more displayed selections using a selection device. After the user selections have been made, the system determines which actions can be used with the selected data. Graphical components that correspond to the allowed actions are placed in an action bar and the action bar is displayed proximate to at least one of the user's selections. The action bar is not removed and remains visible as a result of the user scrolling display or performing unrelated actions. Providing a persistent action bar in location proximate to the user's selection helps the user maintain focus on the selected data. In addition, the selection based action bar can be used as a visual placeholder are marking mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20070028180
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to managing tabbing order in a portal environment and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for tab order management for portlets in a portal environment. In a first embodiment, a tab order management data processing system can include a portal server configured to render a portal page, a portlet aggregator configured to provide portlet markup for different portlets in the portal page, and tab order management logic coupled to the portlet aggregator. The tab order management logic can be configured to transform a relative tab order for tabbed elements in each of the different portlets into a single tab order for the portal page. For instance, the tab order management logic can include a configuration to transform relative indices for the tabbed elements in each of the different portlets into a single index for the portal page.
