A web page is composed using a browser that displays an authoring web page containing an authoring tool embedded in the authoring web page. The authoring web page, as displayed in a browser window, includes a web page editing region that displays a web page under construction. The web page editing region further includes one or more user-specified instances of structured fields, each instance responsible for hosting content entered directly by the web page author through the browser window or identified by the web page authoring using the authoring tool. A composed web page is published, for example on the Internet. Thereafter, the composed web page can be rendered in a browser window of any client computer or device in a style consistent with the user-entered content in the web page editing region.

Web page authoring tool for structured documents

Methods, systems, and graphical user interfaces that automatically personalize and prioritize links to online groups are disclosed. A server automatically generates a set of prioritized links to online groups based at least in part on a computer user's browsing patterns with respect to online groups and sends these links to a client for display in a navigation region in a graphical user interface.

Graphical user interface for facilitating access to online groups

A server stores server metadata entries corresponding to data objects, each server metadata entry including a server file name and an identifier, distinct from the server file name, for a respective data object. The server receives client metadata entries from a client, each client metadata entry corresponding to a data object for which at least one metadata parameter has changed since a prior execution of a synchronization process. Each client metadata entry includes a client file name and an identifier, distinct from the client file name, for a respective data object corresponding to the client metadata entry. The server synchronizes the received client metadata entries with corresponding server metadata entries, if any, having identifiers that match said identifiers in the received client metadata entries, without regard to whether the corresponding server metadata entries include server file names that match the client file names in the received client metadata entries.

Conflict management during data object synchronization between client and server

The present invention relates to systems and methods for providing a user indicia in a display at a local client browser. The user indicia is selected prior to a web transaction and is recognizable by the user. The user indicia is displayed in a web page of a web transaction during authentication. A user can recognize the user indicia prior to providing authentication information in a web transaction. An authentication system includes a web server that provides a web page having a security box identifier, and a client browser that receives the web page from the web server. In response to the security box identifier, the client browser inserts a user indicia into the received web page and outputs a modified web page including the user indicia for display.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for securing web-based transactions. A system for securing web-based transactions includes a credential strengthener coupled to a client browser. The client browser communicates with a web server in a web-transaction. The credential strengthener converts a web credential entered by a user at the client browser to a higher entropy web credential associated with the user. The client browser then returns the higher entropy web credential for further use in the web transaction. A method for securing a web-based transaction includes steps of converting a web credential entered by a user at a client browser to a higher entropy web credential associated with the user, and returning the higher entropy web credential to the web server to continue the web transaction.

A client stores client metadata entries corresponding to a plurality of data objects. During a first phase of a synchronization process, the client sends one or more client metadata entries to a server. Each client metadata entry sent corresponds to a data object for which at least one metadata parameter has changed since a prior execution of the synchronization process. During a second phase of the synchronization process, the client receives from the server one or more server metadata entries, each having at least one parameter that has changed since a prior execution of the synchronization process. The client identifies any received server metadata entry that conflicts with a corresponding client metadata entry, requests a user to select from among a predefined set of conflict resolutions to resolve the conflict, and the performs an action in accordance with the conflict resolution selected by the user.
