A web application provides a custom selection for editing text on a gesture or touch screen. The application replaces native browser handles with selection handles to provide consistent user interface experience across platforms. The application also provides a scheme for semantic interpretation of browser gesture or touch events. The application standardizes browser events into a consistent stream of semantic events that are compatible with a plurality of devices and browsers. The application also provides a gesture or touch optimized user interface in the browser. The application determines gesture or touch input and optimizes the user interface according to the type of input.

Reusable component data persistence using markup languages may be provided. A file including data associated with a reusable software component may be opened. Next, it may be determined if the file includes a persistence element comprising a dataset. The dataset may contain the data associated with the reusable software component. The data associated with the reusable software component may be described in the markup language and may reference a sub-element in a binary format. In addition, if the file includes the persistence element comprising the dataset, saving the data associated with the reusable software component to the dataset may be performed or loading the data associated with the reusable software component from the dataset may be performed.
