Method and system for validity checking a computer file of content for acceptable permitted design attributes
First Claim
1. A method for automatically validity checking a computer file defining content to determine whether the content complies with permitted design features stored in a profile specification, wherein the profile specification is defined by a plurality of page components having elements with attributes, and each attribute designates a rule indicating the permitted design features for that attribute, comprising the steps of:
- selecting an attribute from the file;
detecting the features of the selected attribute;
finding an attribute from the profile specification that matches the selected attribute from the file;
comparing a rule to the matched attribute from the profile specification with the detected features of the selected attribute from the file; and
, determining whether the matched attribute complies with the rule.

Abstract
A method for validity checking a file with permitted design features stored in a profile specification. The profile specification is defined by a plurality of page components having elements with attributes, and each attribute has an associated rule specifying the permitted design features for that attribute. The method includes the steps of selecting an attribute from the file, detecting the features of the selected attribute, finding an attribute from the profile specification that matches the selected attribute from the file and comparing a rule associated with the matched attribute from the profile specification with the detected features of the selected attribute from the file, and determining whether the matched attribute complies with the rule.

12. A method for automatically validity checking a computer file defining content of at least a portion of a website to determine whether the content complies with permitted design features stored in a profile specification, wherein the profile specification is defined by a plurality of page components having elements with attributes, and each attribute having an associated rule specifying the permitted design features for that attribute, comprising the steps of:
-
selecting a page component from the file;
selecting an element of the selected component;
selecting an attribute of the selected element;
detecting the features of the selected attribute;
finding an attribute from the profile specification that matches the selected attribute;
comparing a rule designated to the matched attribute from the profile specification with the detected features of the selected attribute; and
,determining whether the matched attribute complies with the rule.

15. A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program codes embodied in the medium that when executed causes a computer to:
-
select an attribute from a file;
detect the features of the selected attribute;
find an attribute from a profile specification that matches the selected attribute from the file; and
,compare a rule associated with the matched attribute from the profile specification with detected features of the selected attribute from the file.
