Abstract
System(s), method(s), and/or techniques (“tools”) are described that enable electronic document functionality for a limited-capability computing device. The tools may enable a computing device with limited display capabilities to present and enable navigation through nested items or hierarchical view levels of an electronic document. The tools may also build renderable view information by which a device may enable electronic document functionality based on the capabilities of that device.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a request to edit an electronic document from a device that is incapable of rendering one or more of multiple portions of the electronic document;
- and
- causing the electronic document to be edited responsive to input received from the device by:
- receiving a postback name-value pair;
- translating the postback name-value pair into an event log;
- and
- editing the electronic document electronic form based on the event log.
One or more computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to:
- receive a request to edit an electronic document from a remote device, the request including a postback name-value pair;
- translate the postback name-value pair into an event log;
- and
- edit the electronic document based on the event log.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving one or more edits to a electronic document from a remote device, the one or more edits including a postback indicating a request to execute business logic associated with the electronic document that the remote device is incapable of executing;
- translating the postback into an event log;
- and
- editing the electronic document by executing the business logic on the electronic document based on the event log.
