BROWSER-BASED DEVELOPMENT TOOLS AND METHODS FOR DEVELOPING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A browser-based development tool, the tool comprising an interactive user interface running in a browser resident on a client, wherein the tool is programmed to:
- enable a user to select a source of data from a server in communication with the client using the user interface;
retrieve a limited data set from the selected data source, wherein the data content of the limited data set is limited to that which is needed to populate a series of independent cells visible in a browser field;
display the retrieved data in the series of independent cells visible in the browser field; and
seamlessly scroll through the data displayed in the series of independent cells as requested by the user.

Abstract
A browser-based development tool is presented. The tool comprises an interactive user interface running in a browser resident on a client. The tool is programmed to enable a user to select a source of data from a server in communication with the client using the user interface and retrieve a limited data set from the selected data source. The data content of the limited data set is limited to that which is needed to populate a series of independent cells visible in a browser field. The tool is further programmed to display the retrieved data in the series of independent cells visible in the browser field and seamlessly scroll through the data displayed in the series of independent cells as requested by the user. Additionally, a browser-based application can be developed locally on the client using the tool, saved on the server and deployed to others through the server.
