System and method for extracting behavioral code from a software code file

Computer-executable software code stored to a non-transitory computer-readable medium, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a request to extract behavioral code from a software code file that comprises said behavioral code and structural code;
• responsive to the request, extracting from the software code file at least a portion of the behavioral code into a separate file, and generating binding code for referencing the extracted behavioral code to maintain run-time behavior of the software code file consistent with its run-time behavior before said extracting;
• inserting, into the software code file, said binding code for referencing the extracted behavioral code;
• and
• wherein said extracting comprises enabling, by a user interface, selection of one or more of identified behavioral code that is to be extracted from the software code file into the separate file;
• and
• extracting the selected one or more of the identified behavioral code from the software code file into the separate file.

A system comprising:

• non-transitory computer-readable medium to which instructions are stored;
• and
• processor operable to execute said instructions that when executed by the processor causes the processor to
• access a web page source code file that comprises structural code and behavioral code for the web page, wherein said behavioral code comprises at least one of scripting language code and event handler code,
• extract, from the web page source code file, at least a portion of the behavioral code into a separate file,
• insert, into the web page source code file, binding code for referencing the extracted behavioral code to maintain run-time behavior of the web page consistent with its run-time behavior said extracting, and
• wherein a user interface enables selection of one or more of identified behavioral code that is to be extracted from the web page source code file into the separate file;
• and
• wherein the one or more of the identified behavioral code is extracted from the web page source code file into the separate file.
