Abstract

Disclosed herein is an application that intelligently places a user interface (UI) element on content of another application such that the UI element appears to be integrated and coordinated with the content of the other application and not merely overlaid on the webpage. The intelligent placement ensures that the UI element neither obstructs the view of pertinent content displayed via the other application nor interferes with the functionality of the other application. Moreover, the intelligent placement ensures that the UI element is completely visible to a user.
