  • Publication number: 20070033518
    Abstract: Under the present invention, when a user resizes or otherwise hides a column in the electronic table, a graphical indicia is displayed that represents the hidden column(s). If a user interacts with the indicia (e.g., by hovering a mouse/input device over it), a pop-window will be displayed that identifies the hidden column(s). The pop-up window can include icons representing each hidden column or an associated function. By manipulating the listing contained in the pop-up window, the user can un-hide the hidden table column(s), change their order in the electronic table, etc. In addition, the indicia can be formatted (e.g., boldfaced, colored, or otherwise altered) to reflect a status of an entry or cell in one of the hidden column(s).

  • Publication number: 20050071745
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing autonomic content load balancing. A programmatic selection is made from among alternative content versions based upon current conditions. Preferably, the alternative selectable versions specify content to be used in a Web page, and a version is selected responsive to receiving a request for the Web page. The selectable version may comprise the Web page, or a component of a Web page may have selectable versions. Optionally, the Web page may include more than one component with dynamically-selectable content. In this case, the versions may be selectable independently of one another.

  • Publication number: 20050071758
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for selecting alternative content views for rendering. Using these techniques, content designers specify alternative content views that are designed for use under different conditions, and a particular alternative view is programmatically selected (according to applicable conditions) when the content is to be rendered. Preferably, the alternative views are provided on a component-level basis, where the selected component view or version then forms part of a larger view (such as a Web page). Optionally, more than one component may be designed to vary simultaneously. In this case, the components may vary independently of one another.
