20120151361 | Dynamic Web Control Generation Facilitator - This invention provides a method, system, and apparatus for generating and manipulating the structure of user interface control hierarchies, in response to user interaction or other events within the life cycle for a given control hierarchy. Within the context of an operation where a web page is requested from a server by client software operating upon a user's computer with an active interface to the internet, or an intranet, an initial control hierarchy configuration is generated, as established by a developer utilizing this invention. Upon successive requests by the client to the server, the structure of the web control hierarchy generated for the given web page may be altered, as prescribed by the development specifications for the application, and implemented by the developer utilizing this invention. The nature of those alterations can include the addition of web control sub-structures, as well as the replacement of sub-structures, within the initial or previously-generated configuration of the web control hierarchy. Alterations to the control hierarchy can be made repeatedly, upon each successive request to the server, to a theoretically infinite degree. This invention can be utilized to manipulate dynamic control hierarchies generated within a statically-generated hierarchy, as this invention does not preclude the utilization of a statically-generated hierarchy. A dynamically-generated hierarchy can be generated at any point within a statically-generated hierarchy. | 06-14-2012 |
