Abstract
Under the present invention provides a method, system and program product for identifying web page dependencies. Specifically, under the present invention, any dependencies needed to properly view a web page are identified prior to rendering the web page on the client. Once any dependencies are identified, the client from which the web page was requested is analyzed to determine whether it has the needed dependencies. Thereafter, graphical dependency indicators that indicate the dependencies and whether they exist on the client can be displayed
Claims32
A method for identifying web page dependencies, comprising:
- identifying a set of dependencies corresponding to a web page prior to rendering the web page;
- determining whether a client from which the web page was requested has the set of dependencies;
- and
- graphically indicating the set of dependencies on the client and whether the client has the set of dependencies.
A system for identifying web page dependencies, comprising:
- a system for identifying a set of dependencies corresponding to a web page prior to rendering the web page;
- a system for determining whether a client from which the web page was requested has the set of dependencies;
- and
- a system for graphically indicating the set of dependencies on the client, and whether the client has the set of dependencies.
A program product stored on a recordable medium for identifying web page dependencies, which when executed, comprises:
- program code for identifying a set of dependencies corresponding to a web page prior to rendering the web page;
- program code for determining whether a client from which the web page was requested has the set of dependencies;
- and
- program code for graphically indicating the set of dependencies on the client, and whether the client has the set of dependencies.
A method for deploying an application for identifying web page dependencies, comprising:
- providing a computer infrastructure being operable to:
- identify a set of dependencies corresponding to a web page prior to rendering the web page;
- determine whether a client from which the web page was requested has the set of dependencies;
- and
- graphically indicate the set of dependencies on the client, and whether the client has the set of dependencies.
Computer software embodied in a propagated signal for identifying web page dependencies, the computer software comprising instructions to cause a computer system to perform the following functions:
- identify a set of dependencies corresponding to a web page prior to rendering the web page;
- determine whether a client from which the web page was requested has the set of dependencies;
- and
- graphically indicate the set of dependencies on the client, and whether the client has the set of dependencies.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
