Systems and methods for a fold preview

Abstract

The invention comprises systems and methods for a fold preview. Various embodiments of the present invention provide a fold preview of a web page, including fixed-width and flexible-width web page designs. Other embodiments of the present invention provide a fold preview of any software application interface. In one exemplary embodiment, a method for providing a fold preview comprises calculating a cut-off region for one or more display resolutions, rendering one or more fold indicators, and continuing to display an area of a page falling within the cut-off region.

         32 . A computer implemented method comprising:
 displaying a window in an application development environment, the window displayed with a first graphical indication annotating a first boundary corresponding to a first viewing window size and a second graphical indication annotating a second boundary corresponding to a second viewing window size, wherein the first viewing window size is different from the second viewing window size; and   activating a fold preview, wherein activating the fold preview comprises changing content of the window to fit within a width of the first window size or a width of the second window size, and wherein the first and second boundaries remain unchanged.   
     
     
         33 . The computer implemented method of  claim 32  wherein changing the content comprises re-arranging the content to fit within a width of first window size or a width of the second window size. 
     
     
         34 . The computer implemented method of  claim 32  wherein changing the content comprises resizing the content to fit within a width of first window size or a width of the second window size. 
     
     
         35 . The computer implemented method of  claim 32  wherein said window comprises a web page. 
     
     
         36 . The computer implemented method of  claim 32  wherein said window comprises a software application interface. 
     
     
         36 . (canceled) 
     
     
         37 . The computer implemented method of  claim 32  wherein said window is a flexible-width page. 
     
     
         38 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which is encoded program code, the program code comprising:
 code, executable in an application development environment (ADE), for displaying a window in an application development environment, the window displayed with a first graphical indication annotating a first boundary corresponding to a first viewing window size and a second graphical indication annotating a second boundary corresponding to a second viewing window size, wherein the first viewing window size is different from the second viewing window size; and   code, executable in said ADE, for activating a fold preview, wherein activating the fold preview comprises changing content of the window to fit within a width of the first window size or a width of the second window size, and wherein the first and second boundaries remain unchanged.   
     
     
         39 . The computer program product of  claim 38  wherein changing the content comprises re-arranging the content to fit within a width of first window size or a width of the second window size. 
     
     
         40 . The computer program product of  claim 38  wherein changing the content comprises resizing the content to fit within a width of first window size or a width of the second window size. 
     
     
         41 . A computer implemented system comprising:
 a display;   non-transitory means, operable in an application development environment (ADE), for displaying a window on the display in an application development environment, the window displayed with a first graphical indication annotating a first boundary corresponding to a first viewing window size and a second graphical indication annotating a second boundary corresponding to a second viewing window size, wherein the first viewing window size is different from the second viewing window size; and   non-transitory means, operable in said ADE, for activating a fold preview, wherein activating the fold preview comprises changing content of the window to fit within a width of the first window size or a width of the second window size, and wherein the first and second boundaries remain unchanged.   
     
     
         42 . The computer implemented system of  claim 41  wherein changing the content comprises re-arranging the content to fit within a width of first window size or a width of the second window size. 
     
     
         43 . The computer implemented system of  claim 41  wherein changing the content comprises resizing the content to fit within a width of first window size or a width of the second window size. 
     
     
         44 . The computer implemented system of  claim 41  wherein said means for displaying comprises a computer display device. 
     
     
         45 . The computer implemented method of  claim 32  wherein said window is a fixed-width page.
