Appeal 2007-1696
Application 10/230,745
Appellants’ invention relates to editing a document within a web
browser. An editing program running in the browser supplies a substitute
edit request to the browser in place of the request received from the user.
The document object model (DOM) is then accessed and edited to remove
the portion of the DOM related to the substitute edit request and insert
appropriate tags to achieve the original edit request, simplifying revision of
the DOM (Specification 4).
Claim 1 is exemplary:
1. A method for editing a markup language document displayed by a
browser executing in a computer system in response to a request from a user
of the system to edit one or more characters in a text element of the
document, the method comprising:
creating a substitute edit request for the one or more characters that
differs from the edit operation requested by the user,
supplying the substitute edit request to the browser to cause the
browser to revise the document in accordance with the substitute edit
request,
accessing the object model of the document after revision by the
browser, and
editing the revised object model to achieve the intent of the user edit
request.
The prior art relied upon by the Examiner in rejecting the claims on
appeal is:
