  • Publication number: 20120066634
    Abstract: In at least some embodiments, a web browser user interface is designed to enable site branding and functionality. Specifically, websites can provide content that can be utilized in a control layout area near the top of the web browser user interface to reinforce branding through the use of color and/or a site-provided icon, termed a “favicon” that serves dual roles as a branding instrumentality and a site's home button. Further, in at least some embodiments, branding can be reinforced through the use of a site-associated color that is utilized for rendering one or more web browser navigation controls.

  • Patent number: 7765467
    Abstract: An efficient approach is provided for handling changes made to the appearance of data in a Data View within a Web page editing program. Instead of immediately modifying the data to reflect each change entered by a user, the changes are accumulated until the user pauses in interacting with the data for a predefined time interval. The one or more changes modify Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) code that is then employed for producing hypertext markup language (HTML) used in rendering the data within a window of a browser program. The user can cancel the update process, which is carried out in a separate thread, causing the data to be returned to its state before the update began. A user can also select different options that affect the appearance of a preview format used in the Data View.
