A runtime capability check determines functionality supported by a client application (e.g. a browser) on a computing device. During the runtime capability check, the client application (e.g. the browser) attempts to execute different function tests to determine its capabilities. The result information from the function tests are stored. The stored result information is used by the client application during subsequent connections with the server (e.g. the cookie is passed from the mobile computing device to the server). Based on the supported functionality as determined by the stored result information, the rendering code is adapted for, generated and delivered to the computing device by the server. For example, when the client application supports the tested functionality then the server renders the content using full feature rendering. When the client application does not support all of the tested functionality then the server renders the content using limited feature rendering.

Adaptive rendering based on runtime capability check

Concepts and technologies are described herein for progressive loading for web-based spreadsheet applications. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a user device can access data from a remote source such as a server computer. The user device can determine dimensions of a viewport corresponding to a viewable portion of the data, a window associated with the viewport, and a preloaded area associated with the window. The user device can request the data associated with the window and the preloaded area and store the data in a cache associated with the user device. The cached data can be used by the user device to generate UIs for displaying the spreadsheet. If the user device detects movement of the viewport, the user device can render a new UI in response to the movement. The user device also can be configured to update and/or clean the cache.

Progressive loading for web-based spreadsheet applications

Concepts and technologies are described herein for row and column navigation. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a user device executes an application program configured to present data in a user interface ('UI'). The user device can execute a navigation controller to detect touch events at the user device. The navigation controller can determine if touch events correspond to input for panning or scrolling the UIs and for implementing the requested panning or scrolling. The navigation controller can include functionality for providing a touch event handler to detect input for panning or scrolling the data and a UI scrolling manager that implements the requested panning or scrolling. The panning or scrolling can be tracked and the data, as modified in accordance with the tracked movement, can be presented to a user in a UI.
