  • Method and system for automatically fitting a graphical display of objects to the dimensions of a display window
    Patent number: 6456305
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically sizing and positioning a graphical display of HTML objects to fit the dimensions and video display resolution of a display window in a program such as a browser. A first facility translates slides in a slide show presentation program into a corresponding series of scalable Slide HTML pages. A scalable Slide HTML page has a SlideObj container that contains all of the objects in that page. Divisions in the scalable Slide HTML pages are created with nested DIV tags so that percentages related to default dimensions in the SlideObj container may be used to define the dimensions of a display space for a scalable Slide HTML page. Also, nested DIV tags are used to define percentage based positions, hyperlink areas and font sizes for HTML objects in the display space of the scalable Slide HTML page. The HTML objects include text, images, and image maps associated with hyperlinks.
