Abstract: Systems and methods which facilitate search engine discovery of and/or access to application program content are shown. Declarative code may be provided within the procedural code of a rich Internet application in order to identify various states, and their associated content, of the rich Internet application. A Web crawler may identify content associated with a rich Internet application using the foregoing information. Likewise, direct access to rich Internet application states associated with the identified content may be provided using the foregoing information. A translation module may be provided for interfacing between a Web crawler and a rich Internet application.

Abstract: A system and method allows a user to view server side code results on a computer system by storing source code for a web page on the server, retrieving the web page from the server, associating the server side code results with the server side code that caused the server to produce them, and displaying the server side code results, for example in place of the server side code. The operation of the method and system may be periodically repeated to incorporate updates to the server side code results. The user may graphically adjust characteristics of the server side code results, and if the user so adjusts them, the system and method adjusts the source code for the web page consistent with the adjustments made by the user.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a conditional animation of an unknown object is described. In creating the animation, a representative starting point is designated for an object. A representative ending point is also selected by the designer for the object. The designer/developer may then create a representative motion path for the object. The designer then defines a transformation to translate a position of unknown object, when it is determined, relative to the representative starting and ending points and the representative motion path.

Abstract: A system and method stores keys and values defined for a file as XML tags and values in a separate shadow file, allowing the keys and values to remain separate from the file, while being associated with the file so that the shadow file can be viewed, moved, stored or retrieved in tandem with the file.

Abstract: A system and method builds a set of information by providing information related to each object of a first type surrounded with a pair of identifiers. Information related to objects of a second type is provided with an embedded identifier. Information received from a server is associated with one or more first objects by locating a pair of identifiers in the information and associating the information with one or more objects corresponding to the pair of identifiers.
