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

A system that serves content in a container document. The system may include a container server, associated with a first source, the container server identifying a first module for use with a container document, receiving a module specification associated with the first module from a second source, and serving the container document with module data based on the module specification. The module data may reference a second module, the second module being associated with the first source to enable communication between the first and second sources.

Controlling communication within a container document

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

A method of registering a partner for an advertising program is described. The method includes receiving advertising partner information and creating a partner web page having a format for the partner in accordance with the advertising partner information.

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.

Methods, apparatus, computer program products and systems are provided for editing an image in a browser. One method includes receiving crop data at a server including information defining a crop size and location associated with a cropping operation to be applied to an image in accordance with user instructions received at a client device and transmitting from the server to the client device a modified image, the modified image having a uniform resource locator (URL) and being cropped in accordance with the crop data.

Effects applied to images in a browser

Methods, apparatus, computer program products and systems are provided for editing an image. One method includes receiving transformation data at a server including a uniform resource locator (URL) that includes an identification of an image and information defining a transformation to be applied to the image, and transmitting from the server to a client device a modified image after receiving the transformation data, the modified image having the uniform resource locator (URL) and being transformed in accordance with the information defining the transformation.

Selective image editing in a browser

A method of composing a web page is described. The method includes transmitting an authoring web page including an embedded authoring tool to a client computer using a network. The authoring tool may be used to compose the web page. Web-page content corresponding to the composed web page is received from the client computer. The composed web page may include one or more regions for displaying one or more advertisements having one or more links to one or more content locations. In another aspect of the disclosure, an advertising program registration module may include a link or other mechanism for sending the authoring web page to a publisher registering to participate in the advertising program.

Methods, apparatus, computer program products and systems are provided for editing an image. In one method a selection of an image for editing is received at a server, the image being presented in a browser of a client device. Edit data is received at the server to allow the server to create an edited image. A modified image is transferred from the server having a uniform resource locator (URL) and being modified in accordance with the edit data.

Distributed processing when editing an image in a browser

Methods, tools, and systems are provided for editing an image in a browser. One method includes presenting an image in a browser, receiving a selection from a user to transform the image and transforming the image in the browser without interaction with the server.
