  • Publication number: 20030110449
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods and systems of editing a web site. In one embodiment, a web site is organized into multiple sub-sites, with each sub-site having one or more web pages. For each sub-site, a label definition file, an image definition file, and a task definition file are used to respectively store the definitions of the labels, images, and tasks of the web pages of the sub-site. The label definition file and the image definition file are advantageously XML files. A label, image, or task that is shared by multiple web pages of a sub-site can be edited from one web page of the sub-site. When the other web pages are requested for display, they are generated to reflect the change of the shared label, image, or task.
