A web application dialog user interface is provided for presenting users with controls for viewing, editing, and otherwise managing content through the web application. Consistency in style and order of control elements in the user interface with control elements of a standard application user interface, launching of the dialog without a page refresh, and maintenance of task continuity provide users a seamless experience in managing their documents through the web application without loss of context.

Integrated user interface controls for web dialogs

A cross-browser dialog platform is provided for supporting hosted web pages in a dialog, such that a web page may be used inside or outside the dialog. Select elements on the hosted page may be hidden when in a dialog, different behavior may be specified for hyperlinks inside or outside the dialog, and a proper size of the dialog may be inferred from its contents without designer input.

Cross-browser web dialog platform

A cascading stylesheet (CSS) file transformed with user-selected design variables is provided. One or more CSS files may be received as a first input item, and user defined colors, fonts, layout, and images may be received as a second input item. Embodiments provide for determining if the colors and fonts selected by the user are usable and legible. User-selected color and font schemes may be modified if necessary, and a modified CSS file may be outputted to a rendering engine for rendering an aesthetically pleasing, usable, and legible web page.
