Abstract
In one embodiment, the invention is a computing system including a World Wide Web application. The application includes a pick field to receive a partial value. The application automatically transmits the partial value to a server. The server is coupled to a database. The server searches the database to find a complete value corresponding to the partial value. The complete value is transmitted to the application. The complete value replaces the partial value in the pick field.
Claims19
A computing system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute instructions for a user interactive World Wide Web application including a pick field,
- wherein in response to the pick field receiving a partial value as user input, the application is configured to
- determine whether or not the memory, comprised in the computing system, stores a local cache,
- only if the local cache exists in the memory and stores complete values corresponding to the partial value,
- retrieve customer options for a display panel from the local cache,
- search the local cache for a complete value corresponding to the partial value, and
- replace the partial value in the pick field with the complete value from the local cache corresponding to the partial value,
- if the memory does not comprise the local cache,
- transmit the partial value to a server coupled to a database,
- receive, from the server coupled to the database,
- the customer options for the display panel, and
- a plurality of complete values found in the database and corresponding to the partial value, and
- replace the partial value in the pick field with the complete value found in the database.
