Appeal 2007-1979
Application 10/041,141
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Appellants have invented an inline error notification method in which
at least one validation error is detected in a value provided through an input
element in a markup specified form. A row is inserted in the markup
specified form in a position that is proximate to the input element, and the
row has a background color that differs from other colors that are visible in
proximity to the inserted row. An error text corresponding to the validation
error is inserted in the row. An anchor tag is inserted in the markup
specified form in a position that is proximate to the input element. (Figures
2A and 2B; Specification 10 to 12).
Claim 1 is representative of the claims on appeal, and it reads as
follows:
1. An inline error notification method comprising:
detecting in a form-based submit, at least one validation error based
upon a value provided through an input-element in a markup specified form;
inserting a row in said markup specified form in a position which is
proximate to said input-element, said row having a background color which
differs from other colors which are visible in proximity to said inserted row;
selecting error text corresponding to said validation error and inserting
said selected error text in said row;
further inserting an anchor tag in said markup specified form in a
position which is proximate to said input-element; and,
serving said markup specified form in a response to said form-based
submit, said response referencing said anchor tag.
