Web server controls are provided for generating client side markups with recognition and/or audible prompting. Three approaches are disclosed for implementation of the controls.

Web server controls for web enabled recognition and/or audible prompting

Controls are provided for a web server to generate client side markups that include recognition and/or audible prompting. The controls comprise elements of a dialog such as a question, answer, confirmation, command or statement. A module forms a dialog by making use of the information carried in the controls.

Application abstraction with dialog purpose

The present invention is directed to a system for automatically recording information indicative of actions of an author in completing steps in an overall task performed on a user interface. Recording systems are used to record the steps taken to perform the task on different computers having different configurations. The recorded steps are then imported into an authoring component where the recorded steps are arranged into a desired content.

Importation of automatically generated content

A system and method of integrating the physical and virtual namespaces of a site into a single hierarchical representation thereof that reflects the hierarchical arrangement of the site as perceived by the client. A dynamic namespace integration mechanism is implemented as a part of a site management service to look up and integrate hierarchically organized directory information maintained in a registry (e.g., metabase) for both physical and virtual directories. The administrator is then given a view of the site that corresponds to the view of the client browsing the site. The administrator may interface with a user interface displaying the integrated namespace to manage the properties under a site's directories. The hierarchical relationships between the physical and virtual directories enable the administrator to set properties on parent nodes that are inheritable by child nodes, simplifying management tasks.
