Variety of approaches to preserve an input focus in a virtualized dataset is described. An application initiates operations to preserve an input focus in a virtualized dataset by presenting an initial page of items from a large dataset in a visible area. A spacer associated with a non-rendered page of items from the large dataset is rendered in a virtual area of the application. Next, an initial focus position is assigned to the initial page of items. Furthermore, the initial page of items is stored in a focus page index in an association with the initial focus position.

Preserve input focus in virtualized dataset

Dynamic rendering of a large dataset is provided. A client application initiates operations to dynamically render the large dataset by identifying and retrieving an initial page of items from the large dataset to render in a visible area. The initial page of items is dynamically sized while rendering. A consumed section of the visible area is measured to determine utilization by the initial page of items. Adjacent pages of items are also retrieved from the large dataset to render in a remaining section of the visible area determined based on the consumed section. The adjacent pages of items are rendered in the remaining section of the visible area.

Display screen with animated graphical user interface

Display screen with graphical user interface

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for efficiently organizing one or more images in a display. The display may comprise one or more display lines, such as display rows or display columns. Images can be selected sequentially from an image database and scaled to fill into a display line, at least until a selected image does not fit. If the selected image does not fit, a cropping amount can be determined for the images in the display line, including the image that does not fit, and the images can be proportionally cropped accordingly. The cropping amount can comprise merely enough display space to accommodate a cropped version of the image that does not fit into the display line. The cropped version of the image can then be filled into the display line, and, if available, a next display line can similarly be populated.

Image layout for a display

A web application residing in a client device generates a user interface containing data objects hosted on a remote server. The web application contains a web app cache storing the data objects rendered in a web page. As additional data objects are needed, the web application searches for them first in the web app cache, then a browser cache, before utilizing a web browser to retrieve the data objects from the remote server.

Browser cache assist for accessing web-based content

Methods and systems are provided for managing, compiling, and displaying unpredictable digital content received from a plurality of sources, such as news information transmitted in RSS feeds. A layout may be selected from multiple display templates, each having slots for the segments of media that are received. Selection of the templates may be based on the properties of the segments. Further systems and methods are directed to displaying at least a portion of non-textual digital content, such as video and pictures, in a nested view designated for the non-textual graphical content. In one example, the portion of non-textual digital content presented in the nested view is determined by the properties of the non-textual digital content. In other instances, the quantity of the non-textual data may determine what portion is displayed in the nested view.
