  • System and method for processing dynamic data sets in web applications
    Patent number: 8136036
    Abstract: Large data sets are displayed and processed. User mark-up language display provides a plurality of line items, each line item including a checkbox. A name/value pair is generated and stored to a text string responsive to the user selecting a checkbox of a line item. The name/value pairs are parsed into a parameter names array and a parameter values array responsive to the user selecting a submit command. The parameter names array is processed to identify each parameter name containing a checkbox indicia, and for each parameter name containing a checkbox indicia, line item detail is retrieved from the detail arrays corresponding for display to the user, who may store a current document as a draft. The user selects or deselects a line item, and the parameter names array is again processed to identify new data available in, or old data no longer available in, the detail arrays.
