Abstract
A method and system to determine the size of a first area on a user interface that is utilized to display data items. The system receives a request for a user interface that includes a first area and a second area that are complementary in size. The system utilizes the first area utilized to display data items and the second area to display other information. The system determines a size of the first area by computing a number of data items that are to be displayed in the first area and generates the user interface to include the first area in the second area, the first area being of the determined size.
Claims20
A method to determine the size of a first area on a user interface that is utilized to display data items, the method including:
- receiving a request for a user interface that includes a first area and a second area that are complementary in size, the first area utilized to display data items and the second area utilized to display other information;
- determining a size of the first area by computing a number of data items that are to be displayed in the first area;
- and
- generating the user interface to include the first area in the second area, the first area being of the determined size.
A system to determine the size of a first area on a user interface that is utilized to display data items, the system including:
- a search application to receive a request for a user interface that includes a first area and a second area that are complementary in size, the first area utilized to display data items and the second area utilized to display other information;
- and
- a determining module to determine a size of the first area responsive to the computation of a number of data items that are to be displayed in the first area, the search application to generate the user interface to include the first area in the second area, the first area of the determined size.
A machine readable medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- receive a request for a user interface that includes a first area and a second area that are complementary in size, the first area utilized to display data items and the second area utilized to display other information;
- determine a size of the first area by computing a number of data items that are to be displayed in the first area;
- and
- generate the user interface to include the first area in the second area, the first area being of the determined size.
A system including:
- a first means to receive a request for a user interface that includes a first area and a second area that are complementary in size, the first area utilized to display data items and the second area utilized to display other information;
- and
- a second means to determine a size of the first area responsive to the computation of a number of data items that are to be displayed in the first area, the search application to generate the user interface to include the first area in the second area, the first area of the determined size.
