  • Patent number: 8533684
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided to automate the mapping so that custom widgets that cause compliance errors in the Web page can be identified automatically. The mechanism dynamically creates and inserts debug directives into the HTML code generated from a custom widget in a Web page so that a compliance error found in the generated code can be traced back to the custom widget that caused the error.

  • Publication number: 20100257413
    Abstract: A client-side application receives an initial page from an application server that includes initial content and provides the initial page to a user. Next, the client-side application receives user input corresponding to the initial page and updates a portion of the initial content, which results in updated content and unmodified initial content. Subsequently, the client-side application formats the updated content and adds markup tags that describe the updated content. The client-side application then sends the updated content and the markup tags to a verification server. As a result, the client-side application receives a verification report from the verification server that corresponds to the updated content and the markup tags. The client-side application determines whether the verification report includes a verification error and, if so, the client-side application provides the verification error to the user.

  • Patent number: 4459581
    Abstract: An alphanumeric keyboard having the capability to identify the language supported by the keyboard and the mode of keyboard operation. A switch component having a plurality of individually settable switch elements is connected to the keyboard control logic via bidirectional lines which are used by the control logic as excitation lines during key scanning and as sense lines during switch component monitoring. The keyboard control logic, in response to a request from the terminal associated with the keyboard, changes from a key scanning mode to a switch component sampling mode. The positions of the switch elements are supplied to the terminal over a serial data line to identify keyboard characteristics.
