Server-side translation for custom application support in client-side scripts

A data processing system configured for translating client-side scripts comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor;
• and
• server-side processing logic executing in the memory by the processor, the logic comprising program code enabled to retrieve a client-side script, for execution in a client-environment, to detect an incompatibility of the retrieved client-side script resulting from a dependency of the client-side script upon an expected occurrence of an event in the client-environment and, to rewrite the retrieved script to manually invoke the expected event in the client-environment.

A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium embodying computer usable program code for supporting custom applications in client-side scripts, the computer program product comprising:

• computer usable program code for retrieving a client-side script;
• computer usable program code for detecting an incompatibility of the retrieved client-side script resulting from a dependency of the client-side script upon an expected occurrence of an event in the client-environment;
• and
• computer usable program code for rewriting the retrieved script to manually invoke the dependency to the expected event in the client-environment.
