Benefits of technology

In this patented technology, there's two main technical features: 1. A controlled script that checks whether or how many URLs have been downloaded on their own device (host). This helps users find relevant resources more easily without scrolling through irrelevant pages. It can help developers make changes based upon what they see around them like adding new links or modifying existing ones.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical solution described in the current software allows individuals who want access to their own funds through internet banks or credit card accounts to see what they have done during these activities without having to manually input any details about how much money was used up over time.

Exemplary Operating Environment

[0016]FIG. 1 and the following discussion are intended to provide a brief general description of a suitable computing environment in which the invention may be implemented. Although not required, the invention will be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a personal computer. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures and the like that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types.

[0017]Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations, including hand-held devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing device

Abstract

An application hosting a browser modifies its own functionality in some manner based on whether particular content (e.g., an identifier) is present in a document for rendering by the browser. In one embodiment, a financial statement page for rendering via the hosted browser is scanned to determine if an identifier corresponding to a download button is present. If present, the host application provides an alternate download button that does not scroll off the screen as the page is scrolled. The present invention also suppresses a dialog box (e.g., the open/save dialog box) when a request for a certain file type is made by a hosted browser. For example, a request for download of financial information suppresses the open/save dialog box, and automatically opens the downloaded file.
