Abstract: Techniques for assessing information technology components by comparing a component (including a component still under development) to a set of criteria. Each of the criteria may have one or more attributes, and may be different in priority from one another. In preferred embodiments, a component assessment score is created as a result of the comparison. When necessary, a set of recommendations for component changes may also be created. The criteria/attributes may be prioritized in view of their importance to the target market, and the assessment results are preferably provided to component teams to influence component harvesting, planning, and/or development efforts. Optionally, the assessment process may be used to determine whether the assessed component has achieved at least some predetermined assessment score associated with a special designation.

Abstract: Techniques for selecting IT components (including components still under development) in view of ones thereof that will be most beneficial for incorporating into a component library and/or into products and solutions for a target market or markets. A set of criteria are evaluated with regard to each component. Each of the criteria may have one or more attributes, and may be different in priority from one another. In preferred embodiments, a component consumability score is created as a result of the comparison. The criteria/attributes used in creating this score are preferably weighted in view of their importance to the target market, and the consumability scores for components are preferably provided to component teams to influence component harvesting, planning, and/or development efforts.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer usable code to grant access to a scripted code hosted at a host site wherein the host site has a window read-only property. A computer client receives a key-code. The computer client determines if key-code matches a known correct window-returning code. Based on that, the computer invokes the key-code to obtain a read-only property of the key-code and determines if the read-only property matches the known correct window read-only property. Invoking means treating the key-code as a computer instruction and executing the computer instruction. The computer may grant access based on a determination that the read-only property matches.

Abstract: A method, data processing system, and computer usable code are provided for generating content dynamically without a Web server. Responsive to a request to display a document containing markup language content on a client data processing system, a determination is made as to whether a utility script is present in the document. A utility application associated with the utility script is loaded on the client data processing system, if the utility script is present. Then, the utility application processes the utility script to dynamically generate dynamic content for display with markup language content.
