Abstract
A graphical user interface (GUI) and accompanying functionality for binding Web page definitional elements to a back-end state (e.g., client- or server-side back-end state) and custom logic is provided. In one embodiment, a template containing definitional elements, custom logic, and bindings are generated that define all or a portion of a Web page based on input received and functionality provided by the invention.
Claims19
A method for binding a web page definitional element to a variable comprising:
- determining that a variable is suitable for binding to at least one attribute of a web page definitional element;
- and
- including the variable, based at least in part on said determination, in a set of one or more variables available to be bound to the web page definitional element;
- wherein the variable is a variable that stores a back-end state information associated with the web page.
A method for binding a web page definitional element to a variable comprising:
- receiving indication that a variable is to be bound to a web page definitional element;
- and
- automatically creating based at least in part on a characteristic of the variable a default binding to an attribute of the web page definitional element;
- wherein the variable is a variable that stores a back-end state information associated with the web page.
A computer system, comprising a processor configured to:
- determine that a variable is suitable for binding to at least one attribute of a web page definitional element;
- and
- include the variable, based at least in part on said determination, in a set of one or more variables available to be bound to the web page definitional element;
- wherein the variable is a variable that stores a back-end state information associated with the web page.
A computer program product for binding a web page definitional element to a variable, the computer program product being embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- determining that a variable is suitable for binding to at least one attribute of a web page definitional element;
- and
- including the variable, based at least in part on said determination, in a set of one or more variables available to be bound to the web page definitional element;
- wherein the variable is a variable that stores a back-end state information associated with the web page.
