Abstract: A workflow schedule authoring tool enables a user to author a workflow by arranging building blocks in a particular order. Building blocks may correspond to events, conditions or actions. Each building block is associated with source code that defines an action to be taken when the building block is processed. The order of the building blocks determines the workflow schedule process. The building blocks allow a user to establish logic conditions for how the tasks in the workflow schedule are executed. A building block may require a user to input parameters before the building block may be executed. The workflow schedule is associated with an event such that the workflow schedule triggers when the event occurs. The building blocks simplify workflow schedule authoring because the user does not need to write any code.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a flip ahead input, such as a gesture, provides touch users with an ability to easily navigate various websites. The flip ahead input can be utilized to advance to the next portion of relevant content. In at least some embodiments, the flip ahead input resides in the form of a forward swipe. In one or more embodiments, the flip ahead input is configured to be utilized in association with an aggregated browsing history from multiple users. The aggregated browsing history is analyzed to generate rules that are then downloaded to a client device and used by a suitably-configured web browser to ascertain the next portion of content when a flip ahead input is received.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to providing users with more control over their navigation privacy, while offering robust search experiences through a web browser's address bar. In one or more embodiments, a web browser's search suggestion functionality is turned off by default. Users may choose to opt into the search suggestion functionality so that search suggestions can be provided to them when they enter search terms in the browser's address bar. In one or more embodiments, the status of search suggestion functionality is conveyed to the user so that they understand that their keystrokes are being provided to a search provider so that search suggestions can, in turn, be provided back to the web browser.

Abstract: A web-based data form enables modifications made to values in the data form to be dynamically implemented in a data source. Form fields of the data form are associated with items in the data source using data binding information. Data from the data source is transformed into intermediate code using Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) code. Form controls of the data form are instantiated using the intermediate code. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is generated from the intermediate code including the form controls.

Abstract: Methods and computer-readable media are provided for assisting with the creation of an extensible markup language (“XML”) path language (“XPath”) expression. According to one aspect, an application program for editing XSLT stylesheets provides a user interface that assists with the creation and editing of XPath expressions. When an XPath expression is being created, a user interface is displayed that includes the valid XPath tokens for the expression being created. As characters are entered into the expression, the valid XPath tokens are continually identified for the expression and the contents of the user interface control are updated. If one of the items displayed in the user interface control is selected, the XPath token corresponding to the selected item is inserted into the XPath expression.

Abstract: Table elements, such as HTML elements, are automatically formatted relative to a change in visual appearance of a displayed decorative panel. The decorative panel comprises a plurality of separate but visually related regions defined by the table elements, and organized in predefined logical relationships to each other. A visual change causes an automatic revision to one or more attributes of the table elements that define the regions affected by the visual change. The visual change and automatic formatting are preferably accomplished with a Web page design tool, which identifies the decorative panel from comments associated with the table elements but do not affect rendering by a conventional browser. Visual properties of the decorative panel are mapped to the attributes, so that when the visual appearance is changed, a corresponding attribute is automatically revised. The resulting revised table elements are validated against predetermined inference rules that define valid patterns of regions.

Abstract: Data in a document are displayed according to a transformation stylesheet, and the transformation stylesheet is automatically updated in response to a document modification made using a graphical editor. Mapping between the transformation stylesheet and the document is automated, so that user modifications to the document or to the transformation stylesheet are automatically incorporated in both. The transformation stylesheet is automatically annotated to create the mapping, and the data are transformed according to the annotated transformation stylesheet. Annotations are carried over to the resulting document. The annotations map nodes within the document to corresponding nodes in the transformation stylesheet. Annotations affected by modifications to the document are translated and replace corresponding nodes in the transformation stylesheet. The updated transformation stylesheet is re-annotated and the data are again transformed.

Abstract: A method for representing linked document connectivity that produces an easy to use, uncluttered screen display. An outline view shows a web of documents as a limited, hierarchical outline. A link view, operatively connected to the outline view, shows a small region of the web surrounding a focus document. The outline may be expanded or contracted to show documents at several levels of the hierarchy, at each branch. The links to and from the focus document may be expanded to show a plurality of levels of connection outward from the focus document. Links may be followed to change the focus document in the link view, and documents may be selected in outline view, thereby changing the focus document.

Abstract: A client/server system for authoring an on-line service uses a server machine accessed a client machine which performs authoring operations on information stored on the server machine comprising the on-line service. Requests for authoring operations to be performed on information on the server machine, for authoring the online service, are translated on the client machine into at least one message which is sent to the server machine. The server machine receives the at least one message from the client machine and performs authoring operations identified in the received at least one message so as to author the online service. This information on the server machine is then made accessible by the server machine to other client systems that can be used to access the information without modifying the information, such as a browser.
