Abstract:

A method for processing custom tags in a document object model (DOM) representation irrespective of the case in which the tags are authored. In an illustrative embodiment, a document object model (DOM) tree is processed to identify custom tags. Upon encountering a custom tag, an appropriate tag handler (e. g. , a Java object, an XSL stylesheet, or the like) is invoked. According to the invention, a tag recognition routine is used for recognizing and handling case-insensitive custom tags. As a servlet engine is examining a tag name, if the name does not match one of the registered tags, the routine converts the name to neutral case. If the tag recognition routine recognizes the name as one of the case-insensitive tags, it converts the attributes to the appropriate case, and hands the resulting element off to a correct tag handler for processing.

Abstract:

A method operative at a server in response to a client browser request for generating a table having dynamic data. The method begins by instantiating a table format object with dynamic data extracted from one of a set of data objects through a common interface. The common interface enables page developers to author customized data getter objects that are used to access data in the set of data objects. The dynamic data extracted from the given data object through the common interface is formatted into the table according to the table format object. The resulting table with dynamic data is then served back to the requesting client browser.

Abstract:

A method for processing a Document Object Model (DOM) tree to verify context between multiple related XML tags. One or more of these related XML tags are custom tags. According to the invention, contextual relationships between the related XML tags are verified using the DOM itself to indicate state. In a preferred embodiment, the inventive method begins during the processing of the DOM tree with a current element being processed replacing itself with a placeholder element. The placeholder element includes attributes indicating its state. If a clean-up element does not already exist for the element being processed, the current element creates a clean-up element and adds it to the DOM, for example, as a child node to the root position. When the clean-up element is later encountered, this element scans the entire DOM for all the related tags (now placeholders) of interest. The clean-up element loads the state information from each and processes the state information accordingly.

Abstract:

A method, operative at a web server, for generating an HTML table having dynamic data, wherein the table can be oriented in any horizontal or vertical orientation. The method preferably utilizes a table format page object to format the table. To facilitate selective rotation of the dynamic table, the method begins by associating together given attribute characteristics of each individual cell in the table. The page developer then sets a table style rotation property on the table format page object. In response to a client request, the table format page object is then instantiated with the dynamic data. The table style rotation property is applied to the table to control the tables orientation. The resulting table is then served back to the requesting client browser.

Abstract:

A method operative at a server for generating a table having dynamic data. According to the method, a page developer may specify a given table cell in the table for conditional treatment. In response to a request for the table received from a client browser, the table is populated with dynamic data, preferably by instantiating a table format object. If the dynamic data in the table cell meets a given condition, the table cell is highlighted. Using this technique, the page developer may conditionally highlight a particular cell based on the characteristics of the dynamic data to be presented in the cell.

Abstract:

A table format object is used to format a dynamic HTML table at a web server. To facilitate the development of a dynamic server page for use in serving the dynamic table, first and second representations are created and made available for display to a page developer, e. g. , in a web browser. The first representation illustrates how the HTML table will appear when formatted on a page by the table format object. The first representation includes given table attribute elements. The second representation is preferably online documentation for the table format object that includes, for each table attribute element, a set of methods that are available on the table format object. According to the invention, a given table attribute in the first representation is bidirectionally linked to its corresponding set of methods in the second representation to enable the developer to easily identify how given attributes in the table behave and how to resolve potential conflicts between these attributes.

Abstract:

An ion energy analyzer is described for use in diagnosing the ion energy distribution (IED) of ions incident on a radio frequency (RF) biased substrate immersed in plasma. The ion energy analyzer comprises an entrance grid exposed to the plasma, an electron rejection grid disposed proximate to the entrance grid, and an ion current collector disposed proximate to the electron rejection grid. The ion current collector is coupled to an ion selection voltage source configured to positively bias the ion current collector by an ion selection voltage, and the electron rejection grid is coupled to an electron rejection voltage source configured to negatively bias the electron rejection grid by an electron rejection voltage. Furthermore, an ion current meter is coupled to the ion current collector to measure the ion current.
