A system and method validating entry of data into a structured data file in real-time is described. The system and method also described a real-time validation tool that enables a developer to create custom validation rules. These custom validation rules can include preset validation rules, which the real-time validation tool enables a developer to create in an easy-to-use way.

Electronic form user interfaces

A system and method enabling a designer to build electronic forms from hierarchical data is described. Displays of hierarchical data, facilitation of selection of a portion of the hierarchical data, and displays of one or more transformation-language components associated with a selected portion of hierarchical data are described. From the transformation-language components selected by a designer, generation of an electronic form is also described.

Designing electronic forms

Embodiments of our technology provide a method, system, and media for presenting relevant information incident to attempting to present information that is unavailable by way of a website. One embodiment of the method includes receiving a request to present a desired web page, determining that the desired web page is unavailable for presentation, determining search criteria associated with the request, dynamically generating a second web page that includes search results that were obtained based on the search criteria, and presenting the second web page on a display device.

Smart, search-enabled web error pages

A method and system for implementing a safe buffer is described herein. The method includes implementing a buffer class that ensures that accesses to memory are performed in a safe manner. The buffer class may be a handle to protected resources in memory. The buffer class may exploit methods to read and write to memory that ensures that read and writes are performed to valid memory locations within buffer bounds.

Safe buffer

A markup language document has data entry fields corresponding to markup language nodes that are arranged in a hierarchical structure of parents having child nodes. The hierarchical position of each markup language node in the hierarchical structure is expressed as a corresponding fragment of the markup language. For each parent, a markup language fragment is formed so as to have a plurality of portions each corresponding to the fragment of a respective child node without repeating any fragment of the respective child nodes. Portions that respectively correspond to the child nodes are used for data entry with the data entry fields, where an electronic form is displayed on a user interface for interactive data entry. The electronic form has one or more data entry fields each corresponding to one of the data entry fields of the structured markup language document and into which data can be entered.

Structural editing with schema awareness

System and method for real-time validation of structured data files

Systems and/or methods enabling creation and/or use of a recursive section for an electronic form are described. In one embodiment, a system and/or method enables alteration, responsive to graphical selection of a recursive section component, of an electronic form's schema to permit a recursive section. In another embodiment, a system and/or method enables a user to modify a recursive section in an electronic form through a rendering of the electronic form.

Recursive sections in electronic forms

Validating data of and/or indicating errors of a structured data file using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) elements and/or XML Path (XPATH) expression are described.

Systems and methods that enable execution of applications at appropriate trust levels are described. These systems and methods can determine appropriate trust levels by comparing applications' permitted trust levels with their requested trust levels. These systems and methods can determine applications' permitted trust levels by comparing applications' execution locations with their published locations. Applications can also be executed at a restricted trust level at which potentially dangerous operations are prohibited.

Executing applications at appropriate trust levels

Systems and methods enabling creation and/or use of an electronic form capable of allowing a user to select from mutually exclusive options without the electronic form being in an invalid state are described. One of the described electronic forms remains valid to its schema by atomic swapping of data substructures corresponding to the form's mutually exclusive options. A method and a user interface for creating some of these electronic forms are also described.

Mutually exclusive options in electronic forms

Systems and methods that enable execution of applications at appropriate trust levels are described. These systems and methods can determine appropriate trust levels by comparing applications' permitted trust levels with their requested trust levels. These systems and method can determine applications' permitted trust levels by comparing applications' execution locations with their published locations. Applications can also be executed at a restricted trust level at which potentially dangerous operations are prohibited.

Digital signatures having an embedded view of signed data that lock the signed data but permit it to be repurposed are described. One of these digital signatures can be repurposed for signature by others, such as co-signers or counter-signers. Another of these digital signatures includes embedded information sufficient to recreate the embedded view using the signed data. A method for building a digital signature is also described that permits signing different parts of an electronic document.
