Abstract
A method and an apparatus for retrieving a form template including one or more rendering attributes for rendering one or more partitions of a form are described. Whether the partitions of the form can be rendered in compliance with style constraints is determined according to the rendering attributes. An updated form template is generated such that at least one of the rendering attributes is updated. Partitions of the form can be rendered based on the updated template in compliance with the style constraints.
Claims20
A method for designing forms, comprising:
- retrieving a form template including one or more rendering attributes for rendering one or more partitions of a form;
- determining if the one or more partitions of the form can be rendered in compliance with one or more style constraints according to the one or more rendering attributes;
- and
- generating an updated form template wherein at least one of the one or more rendering attributes are updated and wherein the one or more partitions of the form can be rendered based on the updated template in compliance with the one or more style constraints.
A machine-readable storage medium having instructions therein, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:
- retrieving a form template including one or more rendering attributes for rendering one or more partitions of a form;
- determining if the one or more partitions of the form can be rendered in compliance with one or more style constraints according to the one or more rendering attributes;
- and
- generating an updated form template wherein at least one of the one or more rendering attributes are updated and wherein the one or more partitions of the form can be rendered based on the updated template in compliance with the one or more style constraints.
An apparatus for designing forms, comprising:
- means for retrieving a form template including one or more rendering attributes for rendering one or more partitions of a form;
- means for determining if the one or more partitions of the form can be rendered in compliance with one or more style constraints according to the one or more rendering attributes;
- and
- means for generating an updated form template wherein at least one of the one or more rendering attributes are updated and wherein the one or more partitions of the form can be rendered based on the updated template in compliance with the one or more style constraints
