Abstract: Content displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI) such as a Web browser can be dynamically loaded and unloaded, or otherwise managed, based on factors such as a current view or focus position, allowing a user to view information in a list of objects without having to load all the objects at one time, which could slow down operation of the GUI.

Abstract: Content displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI) such as a Web browser can be dynamically managed based on factors such as a current view or focus position, allowing a user to view information in a list of objects without having to load all the objects at one time, which could slow down operation of the GUI. Where a number of objects to be displayed is known, a page size can be set so that navigational elements of the GUI function as if all the objects are loaded, even though only a portion might be loaded at any given time. A background image can provide information where an object has not yet been loaded, providing a type of temporary content for the entire page without slowing down operation of the GUI.

Abstract: An online data storage arrangement (or a collection of “digital lockers”) allows online users to share data with other online users. Digital lockers may include a number user created content objects and view objects. A content object comprises a link to one or more data objects that a user may wish to share with others. Such a content object may specify a plurality of permissions that manage what a user can or cannot do with the content object. A content object's permissions may dictate use of the content object when it is shared with other users. A view object is a medium that may be used to share content objects. A user may create a view object that references or includes one or more content objects. Users having authorized access to the view object may use the referenced/included content objects.

Abstract: An online data storage arrangement allows online users to share data with other users having online connectivity. User digital lockers may include a number user created content objects and view objects. A content object is a link to one or more data objects that a user may wish to share with others. Such a content object may specify a plurality of permissions that manage what a user can or cannot do with the content object. A content object's permissions may dictate use of the content object when it is shared with other users. Or, a content object's permissions may dictate use of a copied version of the content object. A view object is a medium that may be used to share content objects. A user may create a view object that references or includes one or more content objects. Users having authorized access to the view object may use the referenced/included content objects.
