Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for rendering and displaying an initial layout of a web application (e.g., calendar application), where the layout includes data specific to a time zone determined to be applicable to a user. Server-side rendering of the initial layout is utilized without compromising the correctness of the initial layout if the server-side heuristics fail. The methods and systems are designed such that it is not necessary to “know,” “fingerprint,” or “reverse engineer” the browser's local time zone in order to validate the time data to be displayed with the user's time-bound information (e.g., calendar data) in the web application. Furthermore, meaningful time data can be displayed to the user without the full web application having to execute in the browser.

Abstract: A method and system for adjusting a web application user interface (UI). The method includes rendering the web application UI and detecting at least one state change of a web application or affecting online accessibility of the web application using a processor of a computing device. The method further includes adjusting one or more elements of the web application UI in dependence upon the at least one state change, wherein the adjusting comprises utilization of cascading style sheets (CSS) with at least one of descendant selectors and cascading rules. The method also includes rendering the web application UI with the adjusted one or more elements. The utilization of the cascading style sheets (CSS) classes includes applying a new property to a UI element, and through one or more descendant selectors, applying one or more new properties to one or more sublevel elements of the UI element.

Abstract: A system and machine-implemented method for optimizing the displaying of a rich web user interface (UI) to a user, the method including rendering a hidden base node and one or more child nodes within a Dynamic Object Model (DOM) tree structure determining if one or more nodes of the one or more child nodes and the base node represent a useful portion of the rich web UI based on whether the one or more nodes meet a pre-defined set of criteria, and exposing the base node if the one or more nodes represent a useful portion of the rich web UI, causing rendering of the useful portion of the rich web UI by displaying display elements corresponding to each of the base node and the one or more child nodes.
