A system and method are disclosed for creating a user interface for database-driven web sites or software applications in which the layout of elements can accommodate and respond to expansion and contraction in a fluid-like or content-flow manner at run-time, but is also constrained by fixed or grid-like sizes, positions, and properties that are specified at design-time. This aspect of controlling the layout of controls via a hybrid of fixed as well as fluid properties, all of which an be visually or programmatically specified at design-time as well as at run-time, provides significant advantages over previous web site and software application design tools and techniques.
A method for creating user interfaces for database-driven web sites or software applications wherein the layout of elements can accommodate and respond to expansion and contraction in a fluid-like or content-flow manner at run-time, but is also constrained by fixed or grid-like sizes, positions, and properties that are specified at design-time, by controlling the layout of elements via a hybrid of fixed as well as fluid properties, all of which are specified either visually or programmatically at design-time, as well as at run-time, thereby providing a plastic layout.
The method of clam 1 wherein the plastic layout consists of a hierarchy of heterogeneous nodes in which each node is aware of the existence, state, and behavior of other nodes and can respond to layout changes at run-time according to rules specified at design-time, so that at design-time both the fixed position of each element, as well as its run-time plasticity, are defined.
A system for creating user interfaces for database-driven web sites or software applications wherein the layout of elements can accommodate and respond to expansion and contraction in a fluid-like or content-flow manner at run-time, but is also constrained by fixed or grid-like sizes, positions, and properties that are specified at design-time, comprising means for controlling the layout of elements via a hybrid of fixed as well as fluid properties, all of which are specified either visually or programmatically at design-time, as well as at run-time, whereby a plastic layout is provided.
