Abstract: A system for presenting web content that allows the user to select and change the view of the content. A page of content, which is viewable on a web browser, contains a user-operable element, such as a pull-down menu, that allow the user to select a view for that content. The page is generated in a default view, by using a content-generation program that receives parameters from a first configuration file. The page includes a user-operable element such as a pull-down menu that allows the user to select a different view for the content. The user's selection is transmitted to the content provider. The content provider then re-runs the content-generation program using a second configuration file that corresponds to the selected view. The second configuration file contains different parameters from the first configuration file. The re-generated content is then re-delivered to the user's computer for display on the web browser.

Abstract: An architecture for presenting web content that modularizes the various components of that content. A “wire frame” defines spatial regions of a page of content. The regions are called “slots.” A “view” defines a mapping or binding between the slots in a wire frame, and objects that generate content. A rendering engine fills the slots with content based on the objects bound to the slots. Slots can be bound to controls, eXtensible Style Language (XSL) tags, or other views. Controls are executable or interpretable code that generate content to fill a slot. An XSL processor can also generate such content based on an XSL tag. Additionally, views can be used recursively so that the content of a slot can be generated by another view. Controls can receive parameters from a configuration file, so that a given control can produce different variations of a given underlying piece of content.
