Abstract: One or more elements can be rendered within a canvas of an interface. The elements can be associated with an element attribute and an element data. The elements can be user interface elements. The elements can be associated with a document object model of a markup language document. The interface can be a Web browser. The elements can be visually sorted differently via a graphical transition effect. The transition effect can execute to sort the elements without modifying objects of the document object model, without changing the elements as specified in a mark document being rendered, and without changing the element data of the elements being sorted.

Abstract: A method for conducting a sales transaction. The method can include receiving at a terminal within a store a first identifier generated for a first item of merchandise selected by a customer while the customer is located within the store. The method also can include receiving from a virtual shopping cart a second identifier generated for a second item of merchandise.

Abstract: A method for collaborating between Web-based shopping carts can include the step of identifying a Web-based shopping cart associated with an online store and a shopper of the online store. Access privileges can be established between the shopping cart and at least one other shopping cart, the other shopping carts being associated with shoppers different from the shopper. A linkage can be established between the Web-based shopping cart and the at least one other shopping cart in accordance with the access privileges. Through the linkage, the shopper can be permitted to access items in the another shopping cart.

Abstract: A method of dynamically modifying web page displays used in various mobile devices. The method uses a motion detection mechanism to detect whether the mobile device is moving or in motion and then modifies web page displays sent to the device based upon the sensor readings. As such, the method, system, and apparatus are capable of automatically modifying a display provided to a mobile device based upon a determination that the user and/or device are moving and/or in motion. In another aspect, the method, system, and apparatus are also capable of modifying the complexity of a display provided to a mobile device based upon the degree of movement and/or motion by the user and/or device.
