Abstract: A web page generator dynamically and implicitly generates localized web content. A web developer can mark the content of a page (including controls and literal content) with resource keys, and can dynamically process this request by dynamically substituting the marked content with localized content. Multiple properties of the controls within a page may be localized.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for providing localized resources for client-side script execution. Embodiments of the invention facilitate providing culturally localized resources for executing client-side scripts at Web browser. In some embodiments, client-side script reference tags refer to a script handler at the Web server (instead of an actual script). The script handler can a return localized resource sets for use with client-side scripts (that include calls to external resources). Accordingly, execution of client-side scripts can be localized in accordance with resources contain in the localized resource set. In other embodiments, a script manager using a generic script reference to identifying an appropriate localized instance of a script. Client-side script reference tags refer to the appropriate localized instance of the script.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying appropriate client-side script references. Embodiments of the invention facilitate tailoring a list of script references to send to a Web browser based on a list of script references included in a server page. Referenced scripts sent to a Web browser can differ from referenced scripts included in the server page. Script references sent to a Web browser can refer to scripts optimized for the execution environment of the Web browser and to scripts stored at preferred script sources. Further, duplicate script references are removed prior to sending a list of script references to the Web browser. Since script lists sent to Web browsers are tailored for execution environment and duplicates are removed, scripts can be loaded and processed more effectively at Web browsers.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for automated generation of different script versions. Received scripts can include comments containing descriptive data from which instructions for implementing specified further functionality (e.g., debugging, testing, tracing, etc.) can be inferred. Received scripts can also include anonymous function names. Modules within a script pre-processor can access the descriptive data and infer instructions for implementing specified further functionality. Modules with the script preprocessor can also infer and assign global identifiers to anonymous functions such that the scripts are subsequently identifiable using the global identifiers. The modules within the script pre-processor can interoperate to generate versions of the script that implement the specified further (e.g., debugging) functionality without requiring a developer to write additional code.

Abstract: The updating of an original version of a Web page without having to download the entire Web page. After accessing an original version of a Web page, a browser client detects that the accessed original version of the Web page is to be updated. The browser client then requests an updated version of the Web page from a page server computing system. Thereupon, the page server determines that only a portion of the updated version of the Web page is to be downloaded to the browser client, identifies that portion, and sends a response to the browser client that includes at least the portions of the Web page that have changed, but less than all of the Web page. The browser client then partially renders the updated version of the Web page using the portions of the Web page provided in the response.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for dynamically loading scripts. Web pages can include references to script loaders that control the loading of other scripts at a Web browser. A script loader can load scripts in accordance with script loading rules that override the default script loading behavior of the Web browser. Script loading rules can cause scripts to load in a different order than encountered in a Web pager, load in parallel, load in a manner that limits cross-domain requests, etc. Script loading rules are configurable such at that a developer can create customized script loading behavior.

Abstract: Facilitation of web page rendering using dynamic rendering controls. A server identifies a representation of a page to be downloaded to a client. The representation includes a dynamic rendering control that may be used to render a portion of the page. Rather than leaving it to the client to gain access to the initial set of data that is to be used by the dynamic rendering control to properly render, the server estimates the initial set of data that is to be used, and transmits a network response that includes the estimated initial set of data. When executing the rendering component, the client may simply use the data provided in the network response to render the portion of the page, rather than having to gain access to the data from a network source.
