Method and system to maintain a web page

Abstract

A system to permit a user-friendly approach to determine and access the portions of a program code associated with respective web page components is described. In one example embodiment, a method and system to maintain a web page may be utilized advantageously to permit users to navigate directly from content strings in a web page to the master text content. The mapping embedded in a web page allows a JavaScript embedded in the web page to pop-up an editing window such that a change to the text in the web page performed by a user may be communicated to the server-side content management system for review and acceptance.

1 . A method comprising:
 detecting, in a markup of a web page, mapping between a component of the web page and a program code portion responsible for generating the web page component;   based on the mapping, causing display of an editing window to a user, using at least one processor;   detecting, from data provided by the user via the editing window, a change to the component of the web page; and   communicating the change to a content management system for review and acceptance.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the detecting of the mapping is in response to detecting a request to activate a mapping script associated with the web page. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the detecting of the request to activate a mapping script associated with the web page comprises detecting that a mouse cursor is positioned over the web page component. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the detecting of the request to activate the mapping script includes detecting a Ctrl Left-Click mouse sequence. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the detecting of the request to activate the mapping script includes detecting a request to activate JavaScript code. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mapping comprises a custom attribute placed on an hyper-text mark-up language (HTML) tag. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mapping comprises an additional HTML tag, the additional HTML tag wrapping a region of the HTML markup of the web page. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein granularity associated with the mapping is at a level of component boundary, the component associated with a user interface (UI) object in the web page. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein granularity associated with the mapping is at a level of an HTML tag in the HTML markup of the web page. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the method is performed in a web browser application. 
     
     
         11 . A system comprising:
 a mapping detector, implemented using at least one processor, to detect, in a markup of a web page, mapping between a component of the web page and a program code portion responsible for generating the web page component;   an editing window presenter, implemented using at least one processor, to use the mapping cause display of an editing window responsive to the detecting of the mapping;   a change detector, implemented using at least one processor, to detect, from data provided by the user via the editing window, a change to the component of the web page; and   a communicating module, implemented using at least one processor, to communicate the change to a content management system for review and acceptance.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the mapping detector is to detect the mapping in response to detecting a request to activate a mapping script associated with the web page. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the detecting of the request to activate a mapping script associated with the web page comprises detecting that a mouse cursor is positioned over the web page component. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the detecting of the request to activate the mapping script includes detecting a Ctrl Left-Click mouse sequence. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the detecting of the request to activate the mapping script includes detecting a request to activate JavaScript code. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the mapping comprises a custom attribute placed on an hyper-text mark-up language (HTML) tag. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the mapping comprises an additional HTML tag, the additional HTML tag wrapping a region of the HTML markup of the web page. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein granularity associated with the mapping is at a level of component boundary, the component associated with a user interface (UI) object in the web page. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein granularity associated with the mapping is at a level of an HTML tag in the HTML markup of the web page. 
     
     
         20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions executable by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
 detecting, in a markup of a web page, mapping between a component of the web page and a program code portion responsible for generating the web page component;   based on the mapping, causing display of an editing window to a user,   detecting, from data provided by the user via the editing window, a change to the component of the web page; and   communicating the change to a content management system for review and acceptance.
