US Patent:

8316348, Nov 20, 2012

Filed:

Aug 8, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/835768

Inventors:

Zhiqiang Liu - Kennesaw GA, US
Jennifer Lai - Garrison NY, US
Brian J. McDonald - Minneapolis MN, US
Laurie Miller - Lyons CO, US
Karen A. Ughetta - Raleigh NC, US
Yael Ravin - Mount Kisco NY, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717110

Abstract:

The present invention provides an approach and corresponding framework that separates data from its formatting/view by generating the dynamic JavaScript (data) as a set (e. g. , at least one) of JavaScript (data) objects, without any HTML formatting. Then, a set of JavaScript functions can be created that takes the set of JavaScript objects as a parameter, and outputs all or a subset of this data object in a format determined by this JavaScript function. In general, these formatting functions can be static, rather than dynamic, JavaScript. This approach has the advantage of providing a much greater degree of formatting flexibility, without the need for each new format to establish a connection with the back-end system providing the data.
